Hi Zhakinya,

 

I did chemo in a slightly different way. Did chemo before surgery (a lumpectomy) and about to start rads soon.

 

Herceptin every 3 weeks as HER2 positive. 

 

The initial chemo I had was 6 cycles of FEC-T which turned out to be 3 of FEC and then 3 of T.

 

Sorry I don’t know more about different regimes and why doctors prescribe them. Hopefully someone else will know more.
