Taxol, Carbo, & Herceptin is the treatment my onc. has decided is the best move for me. He says T &C work very synergistically together. I've had taxol before, but the carbo is new. I am willing to trust that my onc. is choosing well among the options. If it doesn't work then I have the other options to go with.

I will start this combo next Wed. I'm very nervous about the carbo as I've heard it's a tough one. If you've done this combo please tell me how it is/was for you. My doses will be 3 wks on, 1week off.

There is no t-mcc dm1 trial available to me right now. I voiced my frustration about this today & my onc. said "I'll be around to eventually get it - either in future trial or at approval." So I guess patience for me on that one & good he thinks I'll be here to get it!

I did go to an acupunturist today too. I figured that if this combo is going to be a tough one I'm going to be extra aggressive in trying to boost my immune system as much as possible with acupunture 2x week to start then 1x week. I've never done this before so will see if it makes a difference for me.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!
