Re: taxotere and herceptin w/o carboplatin
Pie,
I wanted to let you know that my first line treatment was Taxotere + Herceptin only. No Carboplatin. Not certain what to think of that because I did have a recurrance in about 14 months. However, I was stage IV from the get go.
My 2nd treatment was Abraxane. WAY WAY more tolerable than the taxotere. I was able to get another year.
There are members on the board that began with a taxane and then had Navelbine. I think that combination was quite successful.
Best of luck with your decision. They are never easy to make.
