Hi Chelee,

I was on the BRICG006 trial and pulled the arm of TCH. I started out with having weekly Herceptin for 21 straight weeks and every 3 weeks they added the Carbo/ Taxotere. I had 6 tx's of that. Then they put me on the every 3 weeks for Herceptin for a year. It sounds like your onc. is following that regimen?

I have heard that some women it makes them sick to have the triple dose and they stay with going weekly or they can slow the drip down. I did stop taking the decadrom prior and after like MaryAnn, I couldn't stand it, it drove me nuts too. I was just wired. I don't know if there is a right or wrong way of getting this combo, but I haven't heard where one is better then the other. For me personally, I liked going in every 3 weeks, it freed up my time at the infusion suites. But that is up to you and how you feel and tolerate the regimen your onc. has you on. My best to you. I am 2.5 yrs out and NED. It worked for me.
