Re: Two Chemo drugs linked to BC spread
I had A/C and Taxol ( I think I have said this correctly) before surgery. My oncologist wanted to shrink the tumors before surgery. It was recommended by the tumor board and concurred by my surgeon and oncologist. I feel lucky that they had the right plan for me. No recurrence 13 years later. Feeling blessed for good drugs and good doctors.
