MVAC question

Sonj,

One of our board members went through MVAC several years ago and I would be happy to bring this post to her attention. MVAC is not used as much for first line treatment so we don't see as much about it here anymore. Are they thinking of MVAC for your husband?

Sonj...have to ask....with a clear pathology report and 72 nodes all clean...why are they doing chemo? And why the old regimen of MVAC instead of Gemzar/Cisplatin?.......I'm confused.........Pat

Anyone taken MVAC chemotherapy? How often did you go in for treatment? What side effects from MVAC did you experience? Thanks for info:)
