Chemotherapy

Hi.  I’ve had my surgery for triple negative breast cancer.  The tumour has been successful removed and hasn’t spread to lymph nodes.  I’m about to start a course of chemo as a preventative measure.  Can anyone put my mind at rest with tips on side effects of chemo.  Thank you.

    Hi Mau79, I have invasive ductal carcinoma and I'm Er+; PR+ and her2+, with 1 affected lymph node. I'm now waiting for a mastectomy with reconstruction in early October. It was decided that I needed my chemo first and completed it at the beginning of July. As our cancers are different , I'm not sure which chemo you will be on. I was put on EC-T (the T for me was docetaxel). I got through chemo with minimal side effects, apart from losing my hair, which started growing back before my last chemo. If you ghave anything you would like to know, feel free to ask. Hope all goes well. Xx

    Thank you for your reply and for reassuring me about side effects.  I think that I’m having the same as you so hopefully mine won’t be too bad to.  I appreciate your reply and hope that your surgery goes well.  Take care
