Re: TCH Therapy...6 OR 4 Cycles...

THANK YOU ALL...

lizbeth, so very much appreciated!!

I had found an article a couple of days ago...
Elsevier Global Medical News, 2011 Jan 5, B. Jancin

I NEED to start "linking" these...(to figure it out...just take the time to do it!)

It talked about 0-3 nodes as 4 to 6, the ratio toxicity, etc...

It will be interesting to see how my appointment goes Monday with my oncologist!!

I'll go for the 6, I want to have this GONE...however, the least lasting effects that may be overkill...I'm quite confused at this point and may be doing too much "googling"...

Again, thank you all so very much!
