Hello Colleen. I'm still undecided. I'm in week 10 of Taxol chemotherapy and plan to complete the 12 week plan, however I'm not sure if I will do the AC toxin, which is prescribed next (for 8 weeks). I learned from my Oncologist that 5 year survival odds worsen by 2 or 3 percent if I bypass AC and move directly to radiation and hormone therapies. Not a huge amount, but enough to think about. I need to talk to more folks who have undergone AC to better understand the experience and risks. Still undecided, but I don't want the cure to be worse than the disease.
