Experience with
Paget Disease of the Nipple
over 8 years agoChemotherapy
Drug or Chemo Therapy
I decided to take the more aggressive chemo over a shorter time span. I took 3 chemo drugs at once. Taxotere, Cytoxan and Adriamycin. I ended up being allergic to the Taxotere so they increased the dosage on the other 2 chemo drugs.
