Anybody doing FEC in December?

Warrior50

I have 5 more weekly Taxol left and then I will start FEC December 26th. I don't see very many on this board doing FEC so just looking for some company.

Well, just to give you a bit of company, I did 6 x FEC about through Oct, Nov, Dec 2008, finishing on Xmas eve. And you start on boxing day?

Flanelette - Thanks for the company. How did you do on the FEC? So far the Taxol has been not too bad except for the hair loss. I'm a little scared about FEC.

i did FEC in 08 also. Did not have major problems with it. I began with the FEC and finished with taxotere. I did have thrush after each tx but all in all the FEC was okay. I am sure you will do well aslo!

Warrior50

Thanks Bettysgirl. I am hoping to work most of the way through it so hopefully it will go well.

I just finished 4 FEC treatments. Following 12 Taxol treatments. My hair began growing during FEC and has stayed!

Thehairlesshairstylist - you are the first person I have met on this board that is doing my chemo in the same order I am. So glad to hear your hair started growing again on FEC. I am so ready to have hair again. Sorry you are going through this so young!

Are you going to MD Anderson?

How have you found the FEC to be?

Hi! Finished Taxol, presently on 5-FU, Epirubicin, and Cytoxcin. I finish in January. How are you doing?

I haven't started yet and now they are telling me FAC instead of FEC. I see the MO on Tuesday so I will ask more questions then.

How are you doing Bellamomma?
