Hello Friends,

My mom is tested triple positive. She had her lumpectomy a month ago. Now I am working with doctors to finalize her treatment plan. Our regular doctor (oncologist) has suggested TCH protocol. Essentially, she has to undergo chemo for 6 cycles of Taxotere every 3 weeks along with Trastuzumab which will continue until 1 year. I visited another doctor to seek second opinion. He suggested Taxol - 12 cycles each week + Trastuzumab every 3 weeks until 1 year. He mentioned that this regimen will be less intense and is well suited for her condition. Now I am in a fix which one to chose. Any inputs on this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sid
