  1. Hi all:

    For a pre-menopausal 42 year old patient. She has one
    positive lymphe node. She just had mastectomy.

    We need some help on the followings in order to make a
    decision for her chemotherapy::

    1. CEF vs. ACT which one is more effective, with fewer
    side effects?
    2. Regular ACT (six months) vs Intensive ACT (four months
    with G-CSF)?

    What about the track record of the intensive ACT, especially
    in regards to patient contracting leukemia?

    Anyone can suggest any web sites as well for these
    particular treatment.

    Regards,

    Jill

    Hello Jill, I saw your posts on the breast cancer newsgroup.
    I could not access the website that you posted over there.

    I don't know the above acronyms. I'm left with wondering
    what your radiation oncologist suggests?

    And why you are searching these yourself. And if they are
    new. And why the concern about leukemia?

    Maybe if you "flip the question" to "how would you doctors
    treat a patient with this type of breast cancer", perhaps
    you would get an answer here?

    J-not a doctor
