Joy,

I know taxol/carboplatin/herceptin knocked the crap out of my liver mets (largest 6.8 cm) in 11 weeks (of weekly treatments). I have been continuing this treatment as a precautionary measure since there was a small line remaining and we weren't absolutely sure it was scar tissue. At any rate I have completed 31 weeks and do not have any ill effects. I would highly recommend it - the carboplatin is extremely synergestic with herceptin. Give it a whirl - ps my hair thinned and only reached the noticeable stage after 5 months of this treatment. Actually, I finally shaved my head and it's got a good 3/4" of new growth even though I am still on treatment - go figure. Best of luck.
