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.
