Three years ago I had taxol, carboplatin, and herceptin 3 weeks on and one off. I was given a smaller dose then the once every three week schedule. This worked well to bring tumor markers down and keep active bone mets stable. I also had zometa monthly for bone mets.

I did dose dense (every 2 weeks) because my best friend was getting married on her birthday after "dating" the guy for 24 years!!! I had to get to Las Vegas in time to be the matron of honor....bald tho I was.....

I did dose dense AC & T.

Karen

I had dense dose AC followed by Taxol.

I had dose dense AC X 6. (entered a study)

I had regular dose (A/C every three weeks, then taxotere/herceptin weekly) and think dense probably would have been better. But I wanted to keep working, and it was almost 2 years ago, so I'm assuming the data favoring dense dose wasn't as clear. In any case, I'm doing fine. L

I began treatment in September 2005 with A/C every three weeks, Taxol and Herceptin weekly for 12 weeks, and then Herceptin every three weeks for a year total.

I did dose dense. It is considered the 'standard of care' at the cancer center where I received treatment.

Good Morning All,

Donna

4 DD A/C followed by 12 weekly Taxol with Herceptin

Sue is currently going through AC dense dose, every 2 weeks, 4 cycles. Taxol and herceptin are coming every week for 12 weeks, then herceptin for perhaps a year.

I had taxotere, carboplatin, herceptin every 3 weeks for six cycles. I have been on herceptin every 3 weeks since. (2 1/2 years). Sally

Had CAF every 3 weeks for 6 treatments.

Linda

I had Taxol every 3 weeks to start (for 11 cycles). Had Herceptin every 3 weeks as well. Now I'm on Navelbine 3 weeks on/1 week off (while continuing the Herceptin every 3 weeks).

I had TCH and still don't understand why I was never even given the option of dose dense AC....or even REGULAR AC? O'well...

Chelee

I'm having DD AC every 2 wks x4 then Taxol every 2 wks x4. When I start the Taxol I start Herceptin every week for the 8wks of Taxol and then can switch to every 3wks.

Hi Rhonda,


4 ac every 3 weeks.

4 taxol with herceptin every three weeks

herceptin every three weeks for 48 weeks

Hi Rhonda,
Starting last March, I had AC chemo every three weeks, although my 3rd and 4th sessions were deferred by one week due to low white counts. Taxol was also every three weeks, with no delays. I am now on Herceptin every three weeks for a year and Tamoxifen daily. My onc didn't even suggest DD therapy, I don't know why. Maybe it just isn't standard treatment here in Canada, as much as it is in the U.S.

I had 4 DD A/C every two weeks then 10 Taxol/Herceptin weekly. Continued Herceptin weekly until after rads. Then switched to herceptin every three weeks (completed 18 mos) and added Arimidex. Zometa added in Dec 06 for osteopenia.

I had DD AC, now finishing up a year of weekly Herceptin.


- Anna

I had DD A/C.

Taxotere/Carboplatin/Herceptin - 3 weeks...dose dense not an option

I did A/C every three weeks starting in January of 06. I then did Taxol every week for 12 weeks. I continue with Herceptin weekly; I have had 40 of those with 12 to go!

Herceptin weekly
 

Hi Sherry: I do herceptin every three weeks, the onc said that it does not matter the frequency, but the dosage does. I see some women on this site that do Herceptin weekly. Have you asked your doctor why weekly as opossed to every three weeks. Also what's the dosage for you/ Is it based on your weight? Thank you.

Had both
 

My first treatment was DD, weekly Adriamycin for 12 weeks. (Believe me - I never thought THAT would end!)
Followed by 4 Taxotere 3 weeks apart.

When treated for mets, it was weekly for 7 months until I reached what looked like (and was) NED.
Then went on the 3 week dose of Herceptin.

Are you compiling a chart, Rhonda??
