Hi there @Boobless2, I had Carboplatin as well as docetaxol, so hard to know which side effects were from which drug. Three weekly cycles for 6 cycles. However I was told that docetaxol was the main culprit for my side effects, which was doable. I wasn't prepared at all for side effects so after first cycle I learnt to stock up on drugs for constipation and drugs for diarrhoea, indigestion , nausea etc. The steroids you take before and after chemo help too.
Not much help to you really , plus we all react differently. Someone else might jump in who only had Carboplatin.
Best of luck to you in making your decision.
