Anyone stopped AC before finishing all 4?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone chose to not finish treatment? I have had 3 of my 4 dense dose treatments and this last one nearly ended me up in the hospital and I spent hundreds of dollars trying to figure out why I couldn't catch my breath. In the end they never could tell me what was going on but I am not sure I can go through this one more time. I still have 4 dense doses of Taxtore left after my last AC on Thursday. My tumor was very small no lymph node involvement and I am beginning to feel like the treatment is worse then the disease 😏

I talked to my doctor and he said it is totally up to me, that he really can't tell me what the benefits/repercussions are of doing it or not doing it.

So have any of you ladies chose not to finish because of the side effects?

Thanks and I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Toni

    I made it through the 4 a/c, was supposed to have 4 taxotere. After the first, I had a severe allergic reaction to it. I was pretty sick, in bad shape. My MO stopped any further chemo. It's been 3 years, I'm still NED. Follow your instincts.
