I am on taxotere and herceptin weekly for a 2nd time. Initially, last June the I was on taxotere, carboplatin and herceptin, but I developed a severe allergic reaction to the carboplatin, so the doctor discontinued it. She stated that taxotere and herceptin are still a good combination. Since I started a 3 month regimen of taxotere and herceptin, (after being on a chemo break for 6 months) I have less side effects than I did when I was on TCH. My hair did not fall out this time. Good luck, The TCH really knocked out my mets the first time and my doctor feels the TH will do the same this time. Best wishes, I will keep both of you in my prayers.
