Eric,
I did not have the dose dense treatment, but had 4 of AC and 4 of taxol every 3 weeks, followed by radiation. 10 months later it went to my liver. I went on weekly treatments of taxol/carboplatin/herceptin and after 11 weeks the tumors were all but gone. I did continue this regimen for a total of 32 weeks. I am happy to report I am NED. My oncologist told me the latest findings from ASCO confirmed that weekly taxol is much more effective. I worked the entire time I was in treatment and suffered no ill effects whatsoever. Taxol & carboplatin are commonly used to treat lung cancer, so I would think it might work as well for her as it did for me. Good luck.
Kitty
