  1. Hi all new to group   I’ve just been diagnosed with ductal breast cancer her positive.    Lump in breast and lump in armpit. Both large.  Going to b starting treatment roughly in 3 weeks. Tchp is the name of the chemo. And it’s every 3 weeks for 6 sessions.  Hopefully I will respond well as my breast is huge and getting bigger all the time.  Anybody out there in similar circumstances. I’d love to hear from ye. So we can go on this journey together. 
  • Hi there and welcome to the club that no one wants to join. I'm one of the champions here in this group and I'm glad you've found us and hope you find this a great place to share, learn and ask questions.

    I had the same chemo as you, over 4 years ago know.  It was tough at times for sure, but I was lucky and managed fairly well. I blogged throughout, but you might find this one in particular useful. Chemo hints and tips blog link

    It's also worth knowing the lovely folks at Macmillan are at the end of the phone if you need some advice, or someone to talk to. They're available 8am-8pm daily on 0800 808 0000.

    Best wishes
