upcoming treatment
Saw my oncologist today and following a MUGA SCAN, (providing the results are favorable), I will begin my chemo next Thursday which will consist of 4 tx 3wks apart of Cytoxen and Adriamyacin. Has anyone had this regiment and if so, how was it tolerated? My dr said that I may have a sore mouth 3rd day following tx and the 10th day is when the fatigue hits and by the 17-19th day I will loose my hair. Other than that he said they will give me great meds to counter-act any nausea. I asked about other pre-treatment testing such as a bone scan, ct scan etc and he said it isn't necessary for me. As a reminder...I am stage 1, 1.4cm tumor, estrogen/progestine negative, her2 positive, grade 3 because of the her2+, node negative and clean margins. Thanks for your input and continued support.
