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
