Triple negative breast cancer grade 3

Hi everyone.

I have triple negative breast cancer grade 3 and start my chemo in 2 weeks. 3 sessions of FEC - T then 3 of docetaxel.  Have been looking at wigs but just doesn't feel right. I'm scared and don't wanna know to much about it if I honest just want to know that it's treatable and curable which docs have told me it is so that's good enough for me. Has anyway else had this diagnosis or treatment and what can i expect. The fear of infection while going thru treatment scares me also. How has everyone else been with that ?? 

Sending love n hugs to all fighting cancer

    Hi Zelda,

    It's good to catch up on how you're doing. I'm sorry that you've had such a difficult time with your chemo and, had to cancel your last session.  However, it's good to hear that this has brought your surgery forward.  I expect that you'll be quite relieved to get to this stage at last.

    I shall be thinking of you the second week in June and hope that it all goes well.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

    Hi. I had this and was given a poor prognosis.  That was 15 years ago!! My lymph nodes were infected as well.. 

    I have a new triple negative in my other breast that was removed just over a week ago. I don't know if in the lymph nodes as yet..I got 15 years cancer free so I'm willing to go through it all again. The odd thing about hair loss was it didn't bother me much until my eye lashes went. It's totally amazing that it recovers so fast. As soon as chemo stops you will soon notice a fuzz returning. Hair loss is such a small price to pay. Be bald and proud.. good luck

    Wow that's lovely to hear your doing so well. I was finished with treatment or so I thought but I start oral chemo on Wednesday as a preventative measure with being high risk. I'll take it if it means keeping this at bay then throw it all at me.

     

    Keep well

    Hi Patrice,

    It makes me happy that telling my experience has helped you!  Everyone's journey through this is different and yet the same. 

    I hope your first chemo treatment went well.  First one was rough for me as I had misunderstood how the instructions on the nausea meds and I ended up in the triage needing 2 bags of fluids.  But after that, I had it under control. 

    Best wishes for a quick recovery.  Keep us posted on your journey.
