Re: ACTH vs TCH chemo - thoughts welcome
I chose the TCH option. I had stage IIb, 3 positive nodes, and cancer that had spread to the skin of the nipple. I am 3 1/2 years out from finishing chemo and still NED. I took a TOP2a test to see if adriamycin would be effective. I don't think the test gained acceptance in the medical community.
Personally I am not a fan of extremely toxic chemotherapy. If I had the option I would have chosen Abraxane - because I miss my thick hair. But I avoided Adriamycin because of concerns of heart damage.
