Struggling

Hi

I was diagnosed with TNBC a few weeks ago. I'm having chemotherapy first and then surgery. I started my chemo last week, my second session is tomorrow. The first session of treatment was fine. No side effects or hair loss yet but I know its very early days. I have good days and bad days about the whole situation. I'm absolutely worried sick but I try to put on a brave face, keep busy and try to put it to the back of my mind but obviously it never goes away. At the moment I'm really struggling. I feel very tearful and anxious. I have a long way to go but I just want the treatment to do it's job so I can get rid of this vile disease. I know no one can tell me what's going to happen but I'm so scared.

    I'm so glad to hear you're cancer free! That gives us all hope. It just a very worrying time and a it's going to be a very long journey. I have good days and bad days but I do try and stay as positive as I can and I do have great support at home.
