Waiting for surgery

I found a lump in my right breast Nov 24. Diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer on 2nd January. 8 weeks of chemotherapy and immunotherapy has caused liver and thyroid function poblems. Had sepsis, caught Covid in hospital then anotger viral infection. Second round of 12 weeks of immunotherapy and chemo should have started yesterday but too many toxins in body already. Now waiting for full mastectomy in the next few weeks then probably back on chemo unit. Going to be a long haul still. Now getting very tired. Steroids won't give me more than 4 hours sleep a night. Still trying to be positive but getting harder by the day
