Wink To Linda

Sorry I took so long to get back to you, I haven't been quite myself lately, to make it worse I had Net problems and then the board was down. The Cyclophospamide is the C in AC, the C in CMF, it is one of the older chemo drugs which they have found to work well with other drugs now like Xeloda and can be taken orally. The Xeloda was also the liquid form of the F in the CMF, (5FU) It is also used for many other diseases as well as cancer, and it just so happens I have a connective tissue disease so trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. Stands to reason that it hasn't worked fully in the past because of the drug I was having for the nerve damage also impaired it as well, so fingers crossed it knows everything out this time. It seems they are bringing back a lot of the older drugs now in different combinations, seems the herceptin is making them work better.

Love & Hugs Lyn
