Hi Sandy
Glad you wrote.
When I had surgery, the Dr. said I had 4 out of 13 lymph nodes that were positive.
I took Taxotere 60 mg, Carboplatin 245 mg & Herceptin 140mg every week x 16 weeks with Herceptin only every 4th week, before I had surgery. After my incision heals, in Nov. I am to start on Adriamycin/Cytoxan x 16 weeks then Radiation x 6 weeks. I did very well with the first Chemo. but the next Chemo of A/C will be stronger & I don't know how I will tolerate that. Is this what you had, also? How did you do with the Chemo?
