Chemo combo Taxotere & Cyclophosphamide

cards7up

Anyone had or doing this treatment? My 38 y.o. niece dx in April had lumpectomy and node removal. No lymph node involvement and triple negative. Dx with IDC stage IA, grade 3, poorly differentiated.

This is a nasty combo. Had only first treatment and constant pain and nausea for 2 weeks. Just barely subsiding some and next tx 7/3.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Judy

I had four rounds of this (we call it TC) and had very few issues. I’m sorry she is having problems. She should speak with her doctor if she is in constant pain for two weeks. That doesn’t seem normal.
