Thank you for sharing your concerns about A/C chemo. My oncologist told me recently that I there is a 5% chance of heart failure in 10 years and a 1% chance of leukemia in 10 years with A/C chemo. I will be getting my third dose (out of 4) next week and I am seriously wondering if it is worth it. I am interested in any additional research that you and others find.
I'm scheduled for 4 doses (8 weeks) of Taxol, which I am told has worse side effects and greater neuropathy risks.
