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.
