CMF – cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil ("5–FU" or 5–fluorouracil)

I had this combination in my first line of treatment in 1998, called a sandwich therapy which was AC first radiation and then CMF. I found the combination quite easy to tolerate with no side effects at all, no hair loss.

I am now on CF and herceptin, with the CF both oral this time, Cycloblastin tablets 50mg and Xeloda 500mg being the oral for 5FU. I am treating a new primary in my right breast with skin mets involvement, looked like inflammatory but no so. Radiation with Xeloda did not shift it so trying again. The C is also being used to treat my connective tissue disorder.

Hope this helps.

Love & Hugs Lyn
