Just wanted to share that after 4 treatments of A/C my tumor (4.3cm) is now undetectable by palpitation exam. YAY! I still have four rounds of Taxol to do but I am really hoping to be on my way to a PCR. I have surgery tentatively scheduled for May 10th so we will know more after we get the pathology back at that time. Thank you all for being here, I had a really horrible week last week from side effects and DH losing his job but this is good news that I wanted to share! ------------- 11/13/12 DX TNBC, BRCA 1+ Grade 3, 4.3cm tumor, susp. node under arm, 4 A/C biweekly & 4 Taxol biweekly |

Glad the chemo is working for you, Sweetpickle! Stay strong - the taxol shouldn't be as rough on you as the AC, so it should get easier from here. Hang in there - you can do it!

| Congratulations! I know exactly how you are feeling! Thrilled but cautiously optimistic! I recently had similar results..........3.5 cm lump in breast and lump in lymph node - After A/C for 4 treatments and 12 treatments of taxol..........lumps were totally gone!! I had my MRI 1/3/13 to confirm. My surgery was 2/13/13 and the pathology report came back - no cancer!! You go GIRL! |

Dear MLindaG,
So nice to hear from you again. The 'no cancer' after chemo and surgery are wonderful words. I had the same chemo back in 2006, administered in a different order than yours, but it worked. "Thrilled but cautiously optimistic" is a statement that many of us can identify with. It just seems to be the {after cancer mindset} we live with for a long time.
Again, welcome and please post often with your encouraging words.
God Bless,

Dear Rome,
I saw a post from you on another thread and I want to welcome you to the TN Support Group. None of like being here, but there is strength in numbers.
Please keep posting and sharing your concerns, good news, support, whatever. WE UNDERSTAND.
