Vicki,

This combination works quite well and has been causing some excitement on how long it will keep people from progressing. Seems like big guns at this point in your treatment - this worked quite well for me once my cancer had progressed to my liver - 11 weekly treatments pretty much took care of the mets - have been on longer for preventative measures. At any rate, carboplatin is very very synergistic with Herceptin - you may recall Barbara Bradfield's clinical trial used cisplatin with the herceptin (cisplatin is similar to carboplatin) and she is still NED 10 years later with no maintenance herceptin. Good luck in your decision.
