That's very interesting.....I realize more people are getting the herceptin earlier on and I understand they have found that weekly taxol is much more effective than every 3 weeks, but am surprised they are adding carboplatin or cisplatin at this early stage since they are a tougher chemo (cisplatin can cause deafness, nerve damage and both are tough on the kidneys). The weekly taxol/carboplatin/herceptin certainly made me NED after recurrence with liver mets so I am a believer in that regimen. You know Dr. Slamon believed in the platinum based chemos with Herceptin ....Barbara Bradfield had cisplatin with herceptin in the very first clinical trials of herceptin. She is doing well 10 years later with no recurrence since clinical trial. By the way was was the F in your FAC treatments?
