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 CJB6093e5
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.
Hi Latchbrook ,
thanks so much … really encouraging to hear your experience of EC ..
Nice to know and hope you’re getting on ok with your treatment or living life well following it

My treatment finished in 2023 after I'd had radiotherapy so now enjoying life again!
