Hi -
You do not say where you are being treated, but your med onc seems to be right up on the latest for Her2 pos patients. There are a number of women who have posted to this site in the past few months on this
Carbo/Tax/Herceptin option.

You may SEARCH THIS SITE for those posts or just "search engine" those three words and some links will come up. Look for "M.D, Anderson trials."

I WILL say that Adriamycin did not work for me in containing my cancer as it went quickly to my liver after taking that, Taxotere and radiation. A trial with Herceptin at outset was not avail for me at the time of my diagnosis or I would have fought like a tiger to get it as I had heard of the good work of this drug!
It has worked for me since to get rid of the liver tumors and stave off any more progression in my body.
