Hi lovely ladies.
My Mum is starting chemo this week for aggressive triple negative breast cancer that is also in her lymph. I am going with her for her first session and staying a couple of days to see how she goes but am a bit concerned because she says she is only having 6 rounds 3 weeks apart via infusion whereas a lot of other people seem to be describing much more complicated regimes. This is chemo pre surgery and I seem to remember the nurse wrote it down as ec9 which I presume is epirubicin cyclophosphamide, od - don’t know what this is and docetaxel x 3. Could anyone explain how the 9 and 3 fit in with the 6 rounds over 18 weeks? It looks like Mum is going to have a total of 4 drugs but unsure if these will be given all together or different combinations - can anyone help? X
