Chemotherapy options

Hi I am getting bogged down in trying to understand and make my decision on my treatment plan my options are 

Paclitaxel and EC given weekly or go with TC given every 3 weeks why am I thinking by taking the TC route I won't get the full effect of the preventative measure for me I am having a conversation with my consultant but would be interested in other thoughts thanks.

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately no one here can make the decision about treatment for you.

    We appreciate when given a number of options to choose from, it can be difficult to navigate the choices and decide the best thing to do. Talking to the team of doctors and nurses involved in your care can be the most helpful as they know all about your individual cancer and circumstances.

    Others on here may also share their stories with you but do remember everyone is different and what is right for one person may not be right for someone else. It is about understanding the treatments on offer including the benefits versus the risks as well as thinking through what is important to you at this point of your life and in the future.

    I hope you are able to make a decision soon and it is one you are happy with.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Naomi
