I had 4 every two weeks of epirubicin/cytoxan, then 4 every two weeks of taxotere. That was the first time. On my recurrence I had 6 cycles ( 2 weeks on, 1 off) of Xeloda, which gave me a slight hand/foot syndrome and not much help with the mets.

Hi Denise07
I had 4 cycles of ADRIAMICIAN and CYTOXIN every other week and then 4 cycle of TAXOL and GEMZAR every other week. The taxol has many similarities to taxatere. Every other week is referred to as Dose Dense. I also had gemzar as part of a clinical trial. It sounds like you had the main three TAC. God Bless, Lillia |

Would appear you have pretty much beaten this cancer Lillie. Wonderful!! Stanford tnbc doc said first two to three years are the most dangerous. You are really close to five. Just a few more months. I know it doesnt end on a certain date, but you have lots of hope. Fantastic. |

Dear Snugltz,
I wish I could convince my mind and body that I have beaten the cancer. I admit that my anxiety level is much less than the first three years, but I know that it stays in your mind way beyond that 5 year time factor. My last treatment was November 15th 2006 which makes me 4 years out from end of treatment. Of course if you start from diagnoses it's only months and not another whole year. I still do not take anything for granted and try to live each day to it's fullest. God Bless, Lillie |

IT is interesting some of you had similar treatments and others had almost the same as me. I guess they treat every cancer different. I hope thats it for all of us.

Denise,
I agree with what Kirby has said before, it seems like a crap shoot. |
