Hi
Has anyone been on these drugs?  For my origninal treatment i was given 2 cycles of FEC and 4 cycles of Docitaxil.   Since I had a second lump show up after chemo/surgery and radiation,  the Dr.  is recommending 6 more chemo cycles with these drugs.  As of now there is no visable sign that the cancer has spread.  I didn't do to bad with side effects of the FEC and Docitaxil (1 bad week, 1 ok week 1 good week )  but with this chemo being 2 weeks on 1 week off I am wondering if that will be harder on my body? 
I would love to hear from anyone with simular experiences.
Best wishes for everyone
Tracy
