Hi Yvette
Great to hear you are receiving carboplatin. The trials make it sound very promising! I am 38 years old, diagnosed with TNBC in November 2015 and I am also receiving neoadjuvent chemo. I am taking part in the Brightness trial: http://www.cancervic.org.au/trials/breast/trial.asp?ContentID=nct0203227
This trial is still recruiting, for anyone that is interested...
As part of this trial I may or may not be receiving Carboplatin and I may or may not be receiving Veliparib. This is a PARP inhibitor which is another new drug to help treat TNBC. I am glad that I have the opportunity to possibly receive these new drugs.
I am half way through 12 weeks of paclitaxel and have had no side effects! After that I will have 4 rounds of AC (so opposite sequence to you). I have already felt my tumor shrinking by about half (started at 3cm+) so I am feeling hopeful. Good luck to you Yvette, I'm sure everything will go well for you too :-)
