Hi everyone, just moved here from newly diagnosed. Starting TAC next week six treatments, having bone scan today! It’s all so frightening. Still waiting to hear if HER 2 pos or neg, Doc wants to give me Herceptin at the same time as the Chemo if pos. Anyone else had or having TAC, I’m told it is the strongest. Still waiting to get an appointment for my wig, I am told I will definitely lose my hair ten to sixteen days after the first treatment. Still, I have treated myself to four fantastic hats from an American site, any excuse!
Look forward to hearing from anyone out there. It’s going to be a long Spring and Summer

If you type “TAC” and “Taxol and AC” into search, you should come up with some old threads by some of us who had TAC.
I had 4 x AC every two weeks and then 4 x Taxol every two weeks. Finished last september. Overall, it was very do-able. My hair fell started to fall out about two weeks after first chemo.
If you would like to ask me any questions here, please do.
