Hi Maria,
FAC x 6 is another alternative you can discuss with your doctor if you do not want a taxane.
FAC is reasonably well tolerated.
What is the HER2Neu status?
All the very best.
Dr. Saini,
Thank you for your advice, my tumor size was 2.1 cm. I still feel strong about not getting de taxotere (before I wrote that I was getting Taxol but i'ts not) what is the percentage of recurrance. I'm going to have radiation my problem is with taxotere
Thank you
Maria
Hi,
ACx4 followed by taxol is one of the standard regimens for adjuvant treatment of node positive breast cancer.
As per current evidence only ACx4 (without taxol) would place you at a higher risk for disease recurrence. Your big initial tumor size of T2 is a risk factor. The fact that the tumor is hormone receptor positive is a good prognostic factor.
Radiation therapy is also indicated in your case since you have had a breast conserving surgery and node positive disease.
All the best, and God Bless!
