Hi I’ve completed 4cycles of EC about to start PAC next week

EC was 3 weekly-bad wk1, tired w2, near to normal w3PAC is 2 weekly. Just wondering how people were on this and if you feel enough after 2wks to start again.also in your experiences when should I expect to start radiotherapy? Is it straight away or do you have a interval. 

good news is my genetic test came back with not detected a gene alteration. 

shielded with my household for 10wks but husband returning to work and granddaughter visiting her father, both from june1 so I’m a tad anxious, any advise 

thank you for reading x

    Hi  

    I can't really help you on that question as i had docetaxel for my last and not sure how similar it is. I was exactly the same as you with EC week 1 poopy, week 2 not so poopy and week 3 not very poopy at all lol 

    All i will say is i found once i started on docetaxel it seemed to fly by so well done on getting half way and lets hope the next half goes quick without too many SE

    Brilliant news about your genetics test.

    As for the shielding its a tricky one, all i can say is ask people to use hand sanitizer, and to be just that bit extra cautious until your treatment is over. Also maybe limit it to the people who need to be in your house to visit and if anyone else calls ask them to stay outside.

    I would say try posting this question in the main Breast Cancer Group there will be more people to help out as this group can be a little quiet.

    Keep at it you're nearly there xxxx
