Hi all - newbie with Tripple negative breast cancer

Hi

Welcome to the site. I also had the red devil treatment this time last year. It wasn't pleasant, but I got there.

I used effervescent paracetamol and buscopan for gastric cramps. Hot water bottles and slept when I needed to. The fatigue is very real, and it accumulates through the treatments. Be kind to yourself and listen to your body. I found that if I didn't nap and tried to work through the tiredness, it made me feel really nauseous. Tell your cancer care team at next appointment about the nausea. They gave me stronger antisickness tablets before my treatment and for 5 days afterwards. That really helped.

I wish you well.  Be kind to yourself. Sending hugs xx

Hi Missmolly,

Thank you, totally agree. Naps really do help, hadn’t thought of hot water bottle so will give it a go. X
