Newly diagnosed triple negative breast cancer

I’m glad. We were meant to go on Tuesday and I was to spend my birthday there but the consultant advised me to cancel

Try no to fret too much about nausea and vomiting, it’s not a given. I suffer terribly from travel sickness but have had chemo twice without any nausea at all. If you are on chemo that’s given 3-weekly (eg EC), you will probably feel best in the 3rd week. I found it was helpful to go away for a few days during this week each time - only going a couple of hours or so away so I could easily get home if necessary. Weekly chemo (eg Paclitaxel) is probably less horrible but doesn’t allow recovery breaks either. Swings and roundabouts. 

Thank you for the reassurance, it’s making me feel better 

Did you manage to get out during the harder times of chemo? Even like lunch with friend/coffee shop/exercise etc?

Apart from 2 or 3 days each EC cycle, I lived fairly normally. I did see people, do some work, go to the gym. On Paclitaxel I lived fairly normally all the time (except for the week when I had diverticulitis). 

Hi

I started my chemo treatment of Paclitaxel last Friday and had a severe reaction so it had to be stopped.  Really scared me and now waiting for Oncologist to decide how to proceed for next weeks infusion.  Any advice much appreciated.
