Hi, 

I am triple negative breast cancer as well. Stage 3A. I am 38 years old. Finished chemotherapy and surgery lumpectomy with some armpit lymph nodes removed as well. It showed full response into treatment, so it is good news. Awaiting now for radiotherapy to start. 
I understand exactly how you feel. A lot of mixed emotions. Try to not worry and just know you will get through it. Knowing our diagnosis are bad, but it isn’t the worst. If you want to we can chat on what’s app?

Hi irma 

So glad to hear you've responded well to treatment how long was you on chemo for before you had surgery and I know everyone's different and responds differently to chemo but how was it for you I should hopefully find out this week a proper treatment plan 

From finding the lump to all the tests it's been 6 weeks at the end of this week I'm just waiting on an appointment this week to find out my treatment plan then hopefully find out a date I start 

I really hope you will get it ASAP. 
Have you researched what money support you can get? Are you employed?

I don't work my partner supports me I really hope I can get in soon to 

You will need to apply. Depends if you have savings or not, if you paid enough NINO there are few different options.

my partner supports me as well, but we dig our savings too. I didn’t research enough and didn’t know that if you have savings you still can get some money support. 

Thanks for letting me know I will look into it see what help is there 

Did you lose your hair ? 

McMillan cancer support is out there for everyone, I went Friday and they were fantastic, the hospital arranged it and they take calls whenever you need ..

Yes I did. I start loosing little by little since week 2 until it become so much in week 4 and I decided to shave it of. It was a relief I can say. Better get rid of it than watch yourself slowly loosing hair every day and end up with few you have left on your head. 

How was the side effects of chemo for you this is one of my biggest fears I'm so scared 

I had nausea for first 3 days after intravenous infusion almost every time. I took pills to manage it for 3 days in first 4 rounds(cycles). Second half of treatment with EC was 1 day nausea after treatment day only.

Had liver toxicity at cycle 2 once I needed 2 weeks to recover and my treatment was delayed for 3 weeks.

Had skin rash quite bad on my back and tummy, face in first half of chemo treatment 

Had diarrhoea once in the start as well

overall I felt week. Once almost collapsed in the shop due to low blood pressure.

second half of treatment was more hard emotionally and pain in muscles, joints
due to lack of moving in recent months all my body is stiff now and I have joint and muscle pain this is side effects which may last up to a year after treatment ends. I am now on immunotherapy 1 of 5 done.

i can mention brain fog, difficulty to concentrate, under active thyroid. This is what I remember.

Thank you so much for sharing this information it really does help when someone else has already ran the course although I know we may have different side effects but what you had seems to be the common ones .well done for pushing through .
