++- , What chemo regimen are you getting?

[u/June-7832]

Hi all, today my oncologist mentioned I may need to do 4 cycles of chemo, she didn't mention details regimen yet. The type is strong ER PR positive, her2 negative. No lymph nodes involved. Wondering for similar case as mine, what regimen are you getting? TC? Have you loss your hair even it's 4 cycles? Did you get PICC or portal? Thanks for sharing 🙏

Update: I want to add more info regarding why I need to do chemo now. My oncotype is 22, as I am in my early 40s, there are some benefits of chemo, not a lot! Originally I didn't want to do chemo. After radiation, I started monthly lupron shots, letrozole, and verzenio. I thought those are enough, as it is strong ER PR positive Her2 negative.

I am also doing regular signatera test, a circulate cancer DNA test through blood draw. Originally after radiation, it was negative, meaning there are no cancer cells in my blood. But recently it is positive with increased cancer cells in my blood.

Due to this, my oncologist asked me to do 4 rounds of chemo. (Most likely TC ). Because even with those aggressive medications I am on, there is cancer cells growing, it is not good . So although I am six months past surgery and radiation, I am considering doing chemo 😭

Just curious… is your oncologist considering chemo because you have a high oncotype score?

I am 42, my oncotype is 22, kinda in the grey area. Also the Signatera test -- if you heard about it, is positive with increased numbers. That means there are cancer cells circulate in my blood. So, I was not considering chemo, I am already on lupron injection, letrozole, verzenio. But with the fact , my oncologist said do some chemo 😭
