My chemo changed?

[Chelee]

I was curious if there is much difference in changing my chemo the way they just did it? I liked it the way it was. Which was as follows: First week was Herceptin, Taxotere, Carbpotin. Then the next week was JUST Herceptin...then the 3rd week was JUST Herceptin again...then back to all three drugs.

Now my oncologist said he would rather have me come in every three weeks and just do the Herceptin, Taxotere & Carbpotin. He said its easier that way. I don't care about easier...all I care about is what is better proven to beat off and fight the cancer.

I have Stage IIIA highly aggressive cancer...Her2/Neu 3 +++, Er & PR positive. Richardson scale 9 or 9.

I want the BEST chance at fighting this. Why would he change it all of a sudden? Is anyone else doing this schedule with these same drugs? Most I have read were doing it that way I USE to be doing it. Not every three weeks.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Maybe its normal...its just funny he would change all of a sudden. He orginally told me the other way is the best way with my kind of cancer...so why change now. I wasn't complaining about coming in weekly. In fact the week with JUST the Herceptin was easy compared to the week with Herceptin, Taxotere and Carbpotin.
