CMF & Herceptin
Anyone have experience with this? I will be doing 6 rounds of CMF along with a year of Herceptin after my MUGA in 3 weeks. I chose CMF over Taxol because of the hair loss issue, but I have now read that one of the drugs in CMF does cause hair loss.
I'd also like to hear of anyone's other side effects from CMF besides hair loss. I'm working myself up into a lather over this in spite of trying to remain calm.
Just and FYI - this is my second go round with the beastie. First time (DCIS only) I had lumpectomy with 33 rads. This time (exactly 2 years later) I'm 5 weeks post op bilateral mastectomy, IDC <.3 cm (DCIS made up the rest of my 1 cm tumor), Her+++, ER+/PR-, Stage 1, Grade 2.
Thanks and hugs to all!
