Hi everyone, I could use some advice. I was offered the option of doing 6 cycles of TC chemo instead of 4. This was suggested because I had a local recurrence after my first diagnosis in March 2023 (lumpectomy, 4 cycles of EC chemo, and radiotherapy). I wanted to give myself the best shot at avoiding another recurrence or metastasis, but there isn’t much evidence or trials showing that 6 cycles are more effective than 4.
My oncologist couldn’t give a strong recommendation either way, leaving the choice up to me. On one hand, I want to do everything I can to prevent a recurrence, but on the other, I worry about whether 6 cycles might be over-treatment and lead to long-term side effects.
Has anyone else faced a similar decision or have any insights that could help? I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts
Hi Guida
I haven't had this type of chemo but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
Wishing you all the best with whichever you decide to do.
