Hi all, I'm new here after a recent diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer. Luckily it was detected before it spread to my lymph nodes. Chemo to start asap and then lumpectomy followed by radiotherapy. I am a single mum with 3 teenagers, 2 of them are autistic and I am their only carer.
it's all happened so fast, and I need to know how bad the chemo is going to get because I need to put things in place for my children if I'm going to be incapacitated for week/months, any advice about what yk expect, would be great thank you xxx
