"New Treatment Option"
Hello:
I am a 49 year old, mother of three (married 20 years), diagnosed with TNBC (non-basal cell) October 2015. I am midway through my chemothereapy (I've had four rounds of AC and have just started on my 12 of Paclitaxel). After meeting with my Oncologist today, we have decided to add Carboplatin to my treatment. I will have a combination of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel for my remaining 11 weekly treatments.
Here is some information regarding the studies looking at Carboplatin:

Has anyone else heard of this? Is anyone else doing neoadjuvant treatment (chemotherepy as a first step prior to surgery)?
My chemo should finish in late April; it will be followed by a lumpectomy and radiation.
