I stopped the AC after 3 out of 4 rounds because of side effects. I had already got a significant reduction in tumour size based on MRI so my oncologist was happy for me to move on and then I completed all 12 rounds of paclitaxel.
The pathology after surgery was very good, according to the breast surgeons, with only minimal traces of cancer in the breast (clear margins) and in 2 of 33 lymph nodes removed.
Hi Vangirl, hope your reconstruction is healing well! Thanks for the valuable information! Could u tell me about the side effects that u experienced when taking AC please, my Oncol. says there aren't any! It is encouraging that u had a reduction in tumour size from 3 out of 4 rounds. I'm glad to hear your surgery went so well, was that after your Paclitaxel? Could u tell me if u had any side effects from the 12 X Paclitaxel?
