Hi Elise,
Yes it sounds like ours is very similar treatment wise.
I have done surprisingly well on the AC and I hope that the Taxol is similar, as I will have to return to work in January.

I don't have a preference for lumpectomy or mastectomy, I am trusting in the breast care nurse and surgeon to help me make the right choice.
Did your tumour shrink after the chemo? I'm paranoid at the moment that it hasn't changed, even though I've only just done the 4 cycles of AC.
Thank you for responding and the offer of answering questions etc, that's lovely of you.
