Hi

Lots of people here to support you!

All I’d say is that it gets easier - as you get over the shock and as yet get to understand the various treatments and how they will address the cancer. Not always an easy journey but nearly everyone says it’s nowhere near as terrible as they initially expect!

Good luck xx

1. Hi it's an awful feeling when you first find out , I felt like I had been crushed , lots is scans later and app with the consultant tomorrow , and hopefully a treatment plan and I do feel a bit better , I hope you don't have to wait to long for yours , we can do this x 

Hi, all the best for treatment .. I too have stage 3 BC with one lymph node affected… I’m having weekly chemo at mo in Norwich. Triple negative type. Coping ok so far but everyone’s journey with this is different. 
wishing you well xxx

Have you had any side effects ?

Sorry, missed this … side effects for me haven’t been too bad … tiredness mainly, bit achey. Im on paxitacil plus carbolatin and immunotherapy at moment. Soon i change to EC which will be every 3 weeks … xx

I'm starting on EC every 3 weeks then. Move to paxitacil once a week for 9 weeks 

Don't really know what to expect 

I did 12 weekly Paclitaxel. My side effects were pretty minimal. I did gradually lose my stamina and energy. This progressed over time and continued until 2 or 3 weeks after the last session. And I did lose most of my hair. That started after 5 or 6 weeks - but again it started to regrow really strongly about 3 or 4 weeks after I finished treatment. Oddly my eyelashes and eyebrows were on a different schedule! They didn’t fall out until after I’d completed the chemo - but the new ones were already growing through behind them - it was really interesting 

PS - Good luck!
