TNBC

shaneswife828

I am a 32 year old mom of 6(my youngest is 1). I was diagnosed 8/22 with TNBC. Had bilateral 9/18 with TE. Node negative stage 1A. My hemotology oncologist wants to do 4 dose dense taxotere/carboplatin an then 12 weekly taxol. I would rather do the 4 dose dense taxotere/carbo and then 4 dose dense taxol. I have my chemo talk Monday and start treatment 10/30. I am terrified of side effects and want to get this done and over with so I can try to get on with life and enjoy my kids. My question is has anyone did it the way I would prefer? I felt like my doctor wouldn't give me options and just told me how it was done. I am hoping to be able to get it done in 8 biweekly doses rather than 16 doses. My husband currently is on Personal leave but he can't stay on it forever to help me care for our little ones. I life hours from family and other than my kids my hubby is all I have. Do I have a say in my treatment or do I just have to do it the way my doctor wants to do it. My risk of recurrence without chemo is 20% and with drops to 14%.
