This I find interesting and since you posted it...I have did a search on google and this story is reported every where. I plan on taking to my oncologist because I have been asking everyone on the boards WHY I am the only one it seems being treated with Herceptin, Taxotere and Carbpotin. I have found that everyone it seems, has been treated with "AC" first and then followed by another drug combo. I was never offered "AC" or any of the drugs simular to that and I AM Stage IIIA, Her2/Neu 3+++, Er & Pr Positive, 5 of 16 nodes positive, Richardson scale 9 of 9.
I would fit into this category. Plus everything I have read the past four months since I started my treatment all get different drugs then I have.

Although I have been told I am getting good stuff. I am NOT a doctor...I don't know much about this. Unfortunetly its a whole new world for me that I wish I, and OTHERS would of NEVER had to live.

But I do want my best chances at this...that is why I went with chemo. I got the young guy at this new cancer center and he never offered any type of "AC" drugs? But he knows more then I do.

But I was never offered CEF or CMF coctails. I get my PET/CT scan this week to see if MY drug combo did anything? Which I am worried because I see big swollen nodes on the sides of my neck that were NOT there when I started.

O'well...THANKS for posting this study. I found it interesting and I have found we need to stay on top of things ourselves.
