StageIVBC Mets to Omentum

[PattieMig]

Hi, thanks so much for answering my questions. I just have another one. Did you receive the Epirubicin once every 3 weeks or 3 weeks in a row and then one week off. I'm just curious, because I just received my first treatment of the 3 weeks on and one week off and except for one incident of vomitting, I have felt fine. I go tomorrow (Mar. 7th) for my 2nd treatment - and I will get Zometa with it. The doctor told me I am getting the same amount of the chemo either way I do it, but it is easier on my body if I get it 3 weeks on, one week off vs. once every 3 weeks. Love Pattie

Pattie-

I received TEC (the E for epirubicin) every three weeks. Your way sounds workable also. Glad things are going OK....

Once each 3 weeks and 1 week off. I have only had 3 treatments and
I just had a scan for liver, lung, bone mets.
50% shrinkage in the liver (2 lesions) , lung nodes stable and not measurable. Scan said lung mets nonremarkable. Bone mets (3 lesions) stable. I am sure
the FEC will work for you too!

Good Luck,
Beth
