Hi Lida,
I have not been following the recent posts and am not familliar with your treatment options. I did have a similar treatment of Herceptin/Taxol/ carboplatin. For me it was slightly easier than the A/C. I also knew others that were on the regimen that you describe and they did well. I had neuropothy from the AC and that did continue. I always took my meds for constipation and I only remember having a problem when I was on AC. I had troubles with low RBC and WBC counts from the beginning and I don't think the Carboplantin made it any worse.
I hope this helps.
