FEC at 54
I had FEC and had trouble at 54. Unless the doctor is concerned about being accused of ageism, I don't understand the suggestion.
I know of two older women, both in their 80s, who had recent similar diagnoses and neither had chemo suggested.
She is node negative. I know I wouldn't consider putting myself through anything as remotely strong as FEC even in my 70s.
Quality of life is important and there isn't much with that stuff. Nausea, hair loss, low blood counts, and exhaustion don't add up to quality of life and I had all of those on that.
