Hi all,

I'm about to start the next phase of my treatment i.e. chemotherapy but would just like to say 'Hi' to you all as I'm finding the isolation one of the more challenging aspects since diagnosis. Connecting to others who are experiencing the same would be great! Best wishes to you all.

    welcome to the online community 

    The breast group is a lot busier with more people to chat to, there's not a great deal of difference in what we experience and how we experience it, chemo is just as brutal for all of us. 

    I had Her2+++ breast cancer in 2015.

    there's always someone to chat to in that group

    Hiya  

    I was diagnosed withTNBC last July i have had FEC-T chemotherapy and surgery.

    Which chemo will you be having? 

    Its hard work but worth it, take it each step at a time and keep reminding yourself it is killing of the cancer.

    I was given the all clear on Tuesday xxx

    Hi Haysie,

    Thanks for replying. Today I completed the 1st cycle of chemo with cold cap. I'm surprised I got through that so we'll see what develops from that(Grimacing). Home now and resting, but feeling ok. Hope you're doing ok through your treatment. Take care xx

  • Hi , 

    So sorry you find yourself here, but you are in the right place.

    I didn’t think I wanted to join a group when I was first diagnosed last October but I’m  so glad I did.

    Ive just finished chemo end of April, EC and then Docetaxel I’m now moving on to Radiotherapy later this month. You are not alone here.
