Am I receiving the right tx?

[lexigirl]

Hi To All,
I feel like I need to bring this question up to you all as you are so informed about the latest txs. My onc. had me take 4 txs of A/C and now has me taking 4 txs of taxol. I had my first herceptin w/ my second taxol and will receive herceptin weekly for the rest of the year. I have read in several places that women have been receiving weekly taxol. I have also read that they are treating them w/ carboplatin as well. I asked my onc. about the carboplatin and she said that is used for mets. pts. only. Sometimes I get a little nervous because my onc. doesn't specialize in b/c only. She treats all cancers as far as I know. I feel so ignorant w/ much of the information I try to absorb. I am sooo grateful for all of you who are able to translate the information into words that help me understand.
Thanks for your help,
Lexi
