Tch

Can anyone share with me exactly what medications you are getting for the TCH treatments? I am currently getting taxotere and carboplatinum, dosages are based on the protocol doses of the BCIRG-006 trial which is given at an AUC=6. I had to work with my oncologist because he wanted to modify the dosages at AUC=5 rather then go with the protocol dosages. It was not a pleasant conversation, but the end result is that after the first tx, every tx thereafter was based on what is recommended by the definitions of the trial.

My initial herceptin was the loading dose of 200mg and thereafter I am getting 100mg weekly. After my chemo txs I will be getting 300mg every 3 wks until I make one yr.
