I have been diagnosed with 3a breast cancer. I am 40 years old.
Health-wise very good, and so it came as a total shock.
Did a mastectomy and recovered well. Nodes 4/19 positive so a CAF plan and radiation and Taxol on the agenda.
First shots of 5FU and adriamycin Day 1. No problem. And Cytoxan 3/day.
No side effects on Day 2. Nausea med=Zofran
Feel just as good as yesterday. so far so good.
Hugs! Tina
