Cytoxin versus Carboplatin
I have been given two different chemotherapies from oncologists. One suggested Cytoxin/taxotere/herceptin. The other suggested Carboplatin/taxotere/herceptin. Is this a big difference? Both had the same schedule. Six infusions on a three week cycle followed by herceptin alone for the remainder of the year--12 more infusions.
Should I get a third opinion?
Thanks friends!
