Hi new here, I am a man, have breast cancer, triple negative, 3rd cycle of chemo, some weird side effects

  • Welcome 

    same as me 

    haven’t started chemo so not sure what to expect 

    what side effects are you having 

  • Hi Metoo, welcome to the forum. The side effects of chemo affect everyone differently and I have to admit when I was having chemo the side effects were weird they were like nothing ever experienced before. Let your medical team know as they maybe able to adjust your chemo or give extra meds to help. You can always call the emergency line given if you need advice, I found them incredibly helpful everytime I called. 

    Wishing you all the best for your journey.

  • Hi  and another warm welcome to the forum. Lots of support here and shared experiences. Just thought I’d mention that there’s a thread called ‘Blokes with breast cancer’ that you might like to look at, just because there are so many fewer men than women with breast cancer. I’ll try to post a link but if I don’t manage and you want to check it out, it’s in the General Discussion section. There used also to be a monthly Chemo thread but I’m not sure what happened to it. I didn’t have chemo so not much help re that. Love and hugs, HFxx
