Hi all, I'm newly diagnosed TNBC patient.
I've just received my treatment plan, and they are planning to give me three cycle of EC and three cycle of TC, totalling 6 cycles before the surgery.
My lump is 2.6cm and one lymph node affected too.
I am okay with tackling what I have now, my biggest fear is that in a couple of years time for the cancer to come back which would be much harder to treat. The chemotherapy is quite important part of this to prevent it happening. When I read the treatment people are having all over the world, it is more common to have 4 cycles of each but not 3 cycles of each .
My question is what will be the difference between having three cycles of EC instead of four cycles in the future (and why I was offered only 3 not 4). Am just worried and don't want to regret not doing enough to prevent it if/when it come back in the future even though that means longer and harder treatments I have to go trough now.
what number of cycles have you received and do you know why we all get offered different number of cycles?
