need your thoughts re; tx plan
hi everyone.
back from first meeting with onc. discussed my pathology and offered 2 possible plans. onc feels because no nodes involved, no vascular involvment seen with clr margins that i will mostly likely not need radiation(had bilateral mast)
two chemo plans for me to decided for myself. first one is Epirubicin and cyclophamide 4 cycles every 3 wks
second offer.more aggressive CEF..cyclophosphamide, Epirubicin and Fluorouracil 6 cycles.
with herceptin, tomoxifen(may change that drug with ooph).
He shared his thoughts but said it really is a personnel choice. If i take the aggressive route he believes its maybe 2-3% better at lowering recurrence then standard chemo(first plan)
with side effects and all not sure what to think.
anyone familiar with these combos..? Just looking for insight. I am from Canada, wondering if anyone else fr canada has some knowledge.
suzanne. thanks
