My wife took Taxotere , carboplatin with herceptin and perjeta. IT was planned for 6 cycles, but after the 5 cycle, they dropped taxotere because of neuropathy. Taxanes are notorious for that. It is a manageable combo as long as you take the anti nausea meds proactively. Expect, severe constipation, low WBC, which means you have to get a neulasta shot.

Good luck and you will emerge a winner.
