Chemo Regime changed

Robyn, great to hear your good news after 12mths.

Sue1957, sorry to hear you have to have a 2nd op, will be thinking of you on the 4th, all the best.

Got my port-a-cath in yesterday and what a long day it turned out to be.  Had to be at the Mater here in Townsville by midday. Didn't get operated on until close to 4.30pm and finally got home around 9.00pm.

Have now been told because of a heart problem my oncologist has changed my regime from ACTH to TCH (Docetaxel, Carboplatin & Herceptin). I start chemo this coming Thursday.

I was told that ACTH is a more aggressive treatment then TCH.

Not sure what this actually means. Does it mean that if you have ACTH it is a more successful treatment than TCH in regards to the end result?

Can anyone help me get my head around this?

Thank you lovely ladies for listening to me.

Michele X
