Hi, my mum is 76 and was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy. She was going to have docetaxel and possibly carboplation, along side herceptin. After two 2 cycles of docetaxel, and Herceptin, they have decided not to go with carboplatin. She has been fatigued but out and about after a week or so. She has been told the docetaxel is a low dose and has lost no hair. They dropped the carboplatin in case in made her to unwell to have any treatment. I suppose I’m concerned with only one chemo drug in low dose it might not be enough. I wonder if her age comes into it. It was not in her lymph nodes but her two lumpectomies were not enough to get a clear margin. Many thanks.
