Saw my oncologist today. Three weeks post op masectomy. Dx IDC 2.7cm, stage IIb, 3/18 nodes, er-pr-her+.He strongly reccomended DD ACTH(think that means every two weeks). I am having a ECHO tomorrow, to see how my heart is. And am scheduled for a port next week. The Onc also left it up to me if I wanted to choose TCH. Also they offered, for me to be in a trial, that also uses acth in four different dosing patterns. The arm you would be in would be randomly chosen by a computer. Pretty sure I am not going to choose the trial. But I am definately leaning towards the DD ACTH. Would love to hear from other woman who have successfully completed DD ACTH.
