Hi, I was diagnosed in August with TNBC and coming to end of pacitaxil, carboplatin … also been having immunotherapy then I start a few cycles of EC

has anyone had problems or better experiences on EC ? I’ve two friends who reacted badly to it so I’m feeling very anxious about starting. 

thank you for any info ! 

  • Hi  

    I had my chemo the other way around to you, ie I had 3 cycles of EC followed by 12 of paclitaxel.

    I lost my hair while on EC but didn't suffer from any other side effects other than a slight loss of taste . My cycles were 3 weeks apart and I found that for about the first 10 days I felt a little under the weather then I'd wake up on about day 11 and feel perfectly fine. I'd then feel fine for the rest of the cycle. This happened each time I had EC.

    Hopefully you'll be fine with it too.
