Chemotherapy with EC

Hi everyone,

I have a triple negative diagnosis and have just completed 12 weeks of Carboplatin and Plaxitaxel. Despite a good response on ultrasound showing that my 2 tumours have gone and only node involvement remains my oncologist has now started talking about changing to EC.  As this is once every 3 weeks it would mean another 9 weeks of treatment before my lumpectomy.  As I understand it the EC can wipe you out even more that the Carbo /Taxel combination - is this right?  Has anyone else had experience of both ?
