Help! Anyone on TCHP for early stage neoadjunct

[Teal55]

Hi Everyone!

I'm ready to get my port in on Wed. and start TCHP on Thursday. I am in a clinical trial and was randomized for the TCHP treatment every 21 days for 6 cycles. I am HER2 positive 75% Estrogen positive, 2.6 cm tumor, Invasive ductal carcinoma, diagnosed at 55yr. on Marcy 12th.

Please share your experience if you have had this treatment. I don't know of anyone who has had adjunct prior to surgery.

Q. What meds were you given before & during?

Q. Side effects?

Q. How to manage side effects?

Q. WILL I FEEL WORSE OVER TIME, AFTER EACH ROUND?

Q. Were you able to work during TCHP treatment?

Q. Did you get mouth sores? Were you able to eat?

Q. What should I eat?

Q. Steroids? Prior to chemo and during?

I have no one to talk to about my treatment. I hope there is someone out there who is or was on TCHP.

Thank you!
Teal
