I skipped the C in TCH. There was a study that showed a higher dose of Taxotere 100/m2 was as effective as the 75/m2 with the carboplatin. I was a wuss and couldn't tolerate the 100/m2.
Also opted out of radiation since I had an immediate reconstruction.
Am making sure I get regular exercise and a better diet. Also trying self hypnosis to build the immune system and stay positive with cancer.
I'm 18 months out from the diagnosis. So far, so good!
