I recall that an onc from whom I received my "third" opinion recommended chemo but he said to try and have them leave out the Carbo. I ended up taking it because I did not feel like I could call the shots. But I do remember him saying it was a bad actor.....
And I ended up having only 4 doses because my counts were dropping and I was having neuropathy...the onc who is treating me thought that my 4 doses were therapeutic enough as long as I continue Herceptin for the year....
