My pottasium level was very low too, they gave me it in an IV. I have had two rounds of Taxotere and Carboplatin and Herceptin. This was the first time my pottasium was ever low that I knew of. This is the strongest chemo I have ever been on as far as being very weak and just plain sick usually I bounce right back from treatments. I am not bouncing too much these days lol.
