EC - Chemo Treatment.
Can anyone on EC Chemo give me an idea of what to expect. Any side effects, good effects anything you think I may find useful please.
All would be appreciated. It’s not my first chemo, I’ve tried Abemaciclib,Paclitaxol (had allergic reaction to Pacliaxol) started Abraxane (more expensive version of Paclitaxol) Then started Eribulin until tomorrow when I start EC - Epiirubicin & Cyclophosphamide.
Hi Lucifer
I had 3 cycles of EC before 12 cycles of Paclitaxel. I found that when on EC I felt washed out for the first 5 or so days and then began to feel gradually more 'normal' until around day 12 when I felt fine again. This repeated itself each time I had it so I knew that for about half of the cycle I would be feeling washed out and the half feeling okay. I did lose my hair during the first cycle.
I hope it goes well for you.

I had 4 cycles of EC earlier in the summer. I have been blogging my journey, you will find EC between May and July. I had an ok experience but of course everyone is different. community.macmillan.org.uk/.../a-trip-with-triple-negative-breast-cancer
