Met with the Onc today and Caryn's new regimen will be Herceptin and Taxotere. I was suprised Carboplatin wasn't included but I think it's due to the amount of treatment that she's already had. I know that TCH side effects are tough but it appears that it's a lot easier without the carbo. Anyone get taxotere without the carbo? Weekly? Someone suggested weekly as opposed to every 3 weeks to minimize the chance of side effects including hair loss.

Hugs,
Eric
