@dada TC is docetaxel (also called Taxotere) cyclophosphamide combination. I had FEC which is 5 fluorouracil (also known as 5FU) epirubicin cyclophosphamide also known as the Red Devil. It is 21 days apart x 4, an incredibly hard hitting chemo for sure. I was drug sensitive so after each infusion I was put in hospital over night and then sent home, Id be unwell til day 10 and then pick up pretty quickly. It is doable remember that. I didnt do cold cap, as Oncologist said it wouldnt be successful on the chemo, if Id had just taxol which I did 8 rounds after FEC it would have worked. I do know lots of people who have tried it, and 1 just recently but unfortunately didn't work. All the best, you will get through it. x M
