Hi Lynne,

That is great news about your numbers dropping so much.  It is really good that your cancer is responding so well to the chemo.  I was diagnosed four years ago, stage IIIC, and went through six treatments for carboplatin and taxotere.  My numbers dropped very rapidly as well but my doctor recommended doing all six treatments if I could tolerate it.  I think the thinking is you want to try and kill as much of the cancer cells as you can so that you hopefully will go into remission and stay there for a long time.  I remember thinking, "well, I have already lost my hair, I might as well do as much as I can to keep this away!" 

Hopefully the treatments aren't too hard on you.  Good luck to you with whatever you decide.
