I developed a bad infection after AC #2 and had to put of #3 for 2 weeks...I have just finished AC #4, the last one for me...and am happy to say that I had very few side effects after #3..and so far so good after #4. It is on to herceptin every 3 weeks now for me...and then an aromatase inhibitor...dx May 05..invasive lobular...Stage 1,bilateral mastectomy June 14th..ER+, PR+, Her2++, node neg., all other scans neg. Then had Oncotype DX test done which put me at an intermediate risk for recurrence...which is why I did the chemo...
