I had 4 rounds of A/C then 4 rounds of Taxol. Since I have Inflammatory BC, the chemo was done first in order to shrink the very large mass. I had a great response and the mass shrank to nearly nothing by the time I had surgery. Just think, your more than half way through this!! The Taxenes are much easier than the A/C. Your hair will be growing back soon too. Keep kicking cancer butt...
