Chemo Treatment Plan

I had my first Oncologist appointment today and she gave me two options; 12 weeks TC every three weeks or 17 weeks Pacllitaxel weekly for 9 weeks then Epirubinci/Cyclophosphomide every other week for 8 weeks.

has anyone had either of these treatments and what were your side effects?

  • Hello Mojacar19, 

    It's great that you now have a treatment plan in place and I hope that it won't be too hard for you to choose between these two options. Hopefully you will hear from some of our members soon who have followed a similar treatment plan and they will be able to tell you more about the side effects they encountered. You can also read more about paclitaxel and its side effects on this page.

    If you have any questions about these treatments or their side effects, feel free to give our nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they will be happy to talk things through with you. 

    Whichever option you go for, I hope that it all works well for you and that you don't suffer any significant side effects. Do keep in touch and let us know if you get a chance how things progress for you and how the treatment is working. 

    Best wishes,
