I had surgery first and am now waiting for a date for chemo to start. I have triple negative breast that hasn’t spread to lymph nodes. I was told by one oncologist that I would have one session every three weeks for 12 weeks. Then another oncologist said that I would need a further 12 weeks of one session a week. Has anyone else had experience of this? Thanks
Hi Typist
I was diagnosed with TNBC in March 2022 and had a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
My chemotherapy was 3 doses of EC once every 3 weeks followed by 12 weekly doses of paclitaxel.

Everyone is different but I didn't have any major side effects on EC, other than losing my hair. For the first 10 days of each cycle I'd feel a bit under the weather but then the remainder of the cycle I'd feel fine.
I did lose my sense of taste but found if I ate spicy food that I could taste it. Oh, and pineapple juice always tasted like pineapple.
On paclitaxel I had no side effects at all and my hair started to grow back towards the end of the treatment.
I hope you find it doable too.

No problem. Just fire away if you want to ask me anything else ...... although I am off to bed now
