Hi her2 friends,
As you probably have noticed, I have to decide on a new treatment real soon! One of the combos (Herceptin/Taxatere/Carboplatin) has Carboplatin which I am unfamiliar with. What type of side efffects have you seen with Carbo? Have you seen low platelet counts beside low white and red cells?
Did you have digestive issues - diarrhea and constipation and nausea?
Did you have any neurapathy?
It is a difficult time. It would help me tremendously to hear your thoughts!!
