My cancer journey began in 2013 when I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Three tumours in my left breast all grade 3 with lymph node involvement.
A mastectomy, chemotherapy - FEC-T- followed by radiotherapy saw me healthy until 2019 when lumps in my neck proved to be secondary.
Further scans showed extensive bone mets and now some progression to liver and lung.
I have had ibrance and letrozole as an initial treatment now moving on to paclitaxal.
The paclitaxal has caused me to be very breathless after just one cycle. 2nd cycle was postponed
I fear I may not tolerate this chemo at all and would like to know if any other people had a similar experience.
Thank you
Hi Pailey19,
it sounds like you have had a tougher time. I have just started paclitaxel as a first treatment for my secondary breast cancer which has appeared after 16 years of no symptoms. I had been hoping for the treatment you had with ibrance and letrozole, but I have multiple liver mets which the oncologist is concerned about. I have not had breathlessness, but it has inflamed 
iver! There are several other options; it may be you would be better on! I hope you get the help and support you need. It is scary enough dealing with this stuff without serious drug issues!
