We've described the combination of chemotherapy chosen for Marjory elsewhere on this site
The way that the Edinburgh Cancer Centre and the Edinburgh Breast Unit work is to have a once weekly multi-disciplinary meeting of all the medical, nursing and other related teams. This meeting discusses each patient in turn and a consensus is reached on the best combination of treatments for each patient.
Marjory was allocated this combination:
- Four sessions of CEF chemotherapy at three week intervals
- Four weeks of radiotherapy
- Four sessions of Taxotere and Herceptin
- Ongoing Herceptin
- Femara for long term
This of course is both encouraging and scary at the same time - so on we go. Wish us luck!
