I had CMF with no side effects. Was never sick and did not lose my hair. I would question why Taxol or something else is not being considered. CMF is one of the oldest treatments and I don’t think it is used a lot anymore. You don’t mention age or size of your tumor.

I am 41 and the tumor is 34mm. They did offer ovarian suppression using Lupron but I considered these side effects (going into menopause and then having possibly not actually gone through menopause by the time I am off the meds to then naturally go through menopause) sounds horrible. I am still trying to make my decision btwn CMF with little effectiveness but will be over in 4 months or do the ovarian suppression with no data on the effectiveness and having not great side effects and also having to do it for 7 years. Any advice or thoughts on this is appreciated.
