I was on Abraxane Carboplatin Herception Zometa for 6 months.
My schedule of treatment was 3 weeks on 1 week off. The Zometa was infused once a month. I had no major side effects. I only had occasional low red and white blood counts.

Overall I had a very good response to this combination. This was my first line of chemotherapy. Prior to this line I did Avastin Herceptin for 6 months. I found Abraxane easy to tolerate; I needed no steroids to preload only Aloxi was used as an anti nausea drug. I did not even have to take anti nausea meds like compazine. I have one friend that has taken Abraxane alone and had a full response and is NED today. In my opinion Abraxane is the best taxane drug out there.

I wish you the best!
