Hi Carol

I have also been diagnosed with triple negative beast cancer. Been told very similar plan.

I had PICC line put in yesterday, and will be having first chemo session on Monday 16th. It would be good to be able to compare notes and worries with some one in same stage. I am concerned about side effects and I think loss of hair is quite hard to take on board. 

Hi Julles, so sorry you've had to become a member of this club.  I am very worried about side effects too but we can all be here to support each other through the process.  It sounds like we're all going to be at similar stages of chemo throughout, so just come here to scream and shout if you need to.  I probably will! 

All the best for today.  Let us know how you get on when you feel up to it.

Hi Carol

I had my 1st chemo cocktail yesterday 3in1 day about 5hours. No major side effects at time.  But banging headache overnight and this morning.I did witness a lady having adverse reaction in my 1st 10 ns of being in chair which definitely put the Willie's up me  Lol.x 

Oh jeez Julle, don't say that.  That'll be me!  I'm hoping the nurses/medical staff were able to sort her out?? 

Very glad you were ok.  I'm a 3in1 on Thursday.  5 hours.  Wow!  How's your head now? 

I have a friend who's taking me so no idea what she will do for 5 hours.  Goodness, that's a long time ... 

Get some rest and I hope the headache goes away soon.

Hi Carol

Yes dont panic the nurse'smedical staff were brilliant with her, and within minutes she was telling them she was fine.

Still got bit of a headache but paracetamol is helping. Good luck for Thursday

Hi Julles

well, yesterday was a disaster.  I was quite happy in the cold cap, settled in with my book then treatment started and within seconds I was having a major adverse reaction to the Pac.  Emergency team called and sorted me out but it’s now back to the drawing board for me.  I am seeing my oncologist on Wednesday and hope he can come up with an alternative plan.  The way I feel right now, I just want it off. I cannot cope any more

Oh no sorry to hear you had adverse reaction. That must have been scary.

Hope you don't have to wait too long for an update for your treatment.

Still experiencing headaches and feeling absolutely knackered, but trying to stay positive.
