Anyone Take One Drug Regimen for Chemo vs combination chemo drugs?

2nd opinion prescribed me drug combinations for chemo. I won’t see my own oncologist until another two weeks and by then I’m already on the 4th chemo treatment. I’m young, overall healthy and with aggressive tumor (Grade 3). It’s why I’m concerned.

Resort- the same thing happened to me. Too far along to make a change. I was early stage triple negative and 72 in good health. I was given CMF pre surgery only to learn through 2nd and 3rd opinions that there is no approved treatment after surgery if CMF is given (an error by my initial breast center). I had to consult several excellent hospitals for the right treatment option following surgery. It was determined I should receive taxol/carboplatin. I should have had Zeloda (a pill), but instead had another 12 weekly rounds of chemo.
Keep asking questions until you are comfortable with the answers. Wishing you the very best.
