Hi FFL ladies. This is Monica,and I need some advice. I saw my oncologist on
monday (at MSKCC Commack). At that visit she insisted i have the AC-T regimen of
chemo followed by Tomaxafin. When she discussed the side affects, i was very
upset about the hair loss. She called me again on friday after she discussed my
case with other oncologists and they determined that i also am a candidate for
the CMF regimen. they said there is a 2-3% difference in the two treatments of
the cancer matastasizing. They said the decision is up to me. So now i am really
confused! If any one would share their experiences or has any advice, i would
really appreciate it. i had stage 1 breast cancer, i had a bilateral mastectomy,
no lymph node invasion the tumor was 1.5 cm. but was a grade 3 tumor. I am also
33 yrs. of age. Any thoughts,advice,or experiences shared would be helpful.
Thank you all Monica.
