I have recently received a triple negative breast cancer diagnosis. I have completed my first or four cycles of weeks chemotherapy. It hasn’t been as bad as I expect but I believe it it accumulati I start my second of four cycles next week I will then move onto AC Chemo for 12 weeks 1 session every three weeks. Don’t know what to expect but hoping it’s kind to me and my body. I haven’t lost
ny hair yet but not cold capping as I feel I have accepted I will lose it and if I did cold capping and still let it would be another
so trying to protect myself as much as I can.
Hi Shazaq
I have triple negative breast cancer. I had EC, not AC but they are similar treatments. The advantage of a treatment you have every 3 weeks, rather than weekly, is you get a bit more recovery time. I found I felt normal by day 10 or 11, whereas the weekly treatment felt like being on a roundabout. I hope it’s kind to you.
