Per Pams article posted in the Resources section

http://www.naturalnews.com/026257.html

Nancy, I just know you will be so kind as to
make my link "hot" .... since I don't know how :)


So, does this mean I now should stop to consider
whether or not to have radiation? And also, per
the article, Fluorouracil is stated as possibly not
being a great thing either? I am scheduled to
start F / AC on or around July ( after finishing
my 12 weekly doses of Taxol). I'm starting to get
nervous about all this...

hot link Smile

you are doing taxol first?  you are the first person i know, who has this type of chemo schedule.

good luck with your decision about radiation...there are no easy answers to any of this..we have to weigh the risks and benefits which is sometimes a crap shoot.

Krisa,

I too have noticed upon frequenting this site that it doesn't appear that most are having T before AC. It has
left question in my mind as to why my TX plan is different. My treatment plan is as follows :

Taxol ( 1 x weekly for 12 weeks)
FAC   ( 1 x every 3 weeks for 12 weeks = 4 total)
Surgery
Radiation?

I'm starting to believe that the standard care treatment at my "Cancer Center" is the above plan...I have also spoken with many women at this Center and it appears they are on the same regimen. I'm curious though as to why vs. the plan most others on this site go throug
which typically seems to be AC x4 then T x4 ....I'm going to assume that each "Cancer Center" has their standard of care plan based on theirs and other studies?

Have a blessed day

Dawn
