Hi, I am new to this group. When everyone says that they have received ACT, are they talking about Avastin or Adriamycin., I am assuming the C is for Cytoxene and the T is for a form of Taxotere. What does NED mean? Thank yo for your help.

    Memorial Sloan-Kettering in NYC labels as follows:

    ACT- Adriamyacin/Cytoxen/Taxol

    TAC- Taxotere/Adriamycin/Cytoxen

    CT- Cytoxen/Taxotere
