I am in my 5th month of weekly treatments, 3 on and 1 off of taxol, carboplatin, and herceptin, and monthly tx. of zometa. My hair thinned about 80% and started growing back after the third month. I don't have neouropathy and have very minimal other side effects, mostly fatigue. Taxol or taxotare along with cisplatin or carboplatin work well in combination. I had wide spread bone mets prior to radiation tx. along with a large tumor on my mediastynim. After rad. tx. and 2 months of chemo, the tumor in my chest shrunk 75% and my tumor markers were almost normal. I also have a friend who prays with me prior to my treatment that no harmful side effects would effect me. So far I am living life pretty normal. I just had tumor markers done and will be having a CT scan of my chest and abdomin next week. I will let you know how things go. Blessings, Lu ann.
