I use to get Herceptin every week and the Carbo and Taxotere 3 weeks on and one week off...My onc has been pushing me to go the larger dose every three weeks. After not being able to get chemo because of my counts, I decided to go for it - FOR ME it was a HUGE mistake. I had to start taking Decadron the day before, the day of and the day after chemo. Drove me up a wall. Then the day of the big chemo, I passed out from the chemo. They had to give me extra Decadron, Demerol and oxygen. I spent nearly two weeks in bed sick as a dog and I picked up an nasty infection. This is the third week and I am still not myself...And now my hair is falling out again. So, IMO - smaller doses over a longer period are easier on us and work just as well if not better....
