Hi debiday I've been reading your posts, and I wondered how you are doing? I have recently been diagnosed with TNCC in my right breast and 1under arm lymph node. The tumour in my breast measures approx 3cm x 1.5cm. I received my first dose of EC chemo on Thursday, and have developed a chest infection, so i am now on antibiotics. I've been told that I need to have another 3 cycles of this EC chemo every 3 weeks, before 4 cycles of three weekly Taxo chemo, at the same time as 4 cycles of weekly Carboplatin chemo. After that I am going to be offered a DNA test for the BRCC1 & 2 gene (I am 48 with no known family history of breast cancer), prior to a right mastectomy, with axillary clearance and chest wall and supraclavicular fossa radiotherapy. My world has been turned upside down in the last 4 weeks, but I am trying my hardest to remain strong and positive and to focus on taking each day at a time! xx
