I’ve had surgery and some lymph node involvement found so about to start chemo followed by radiotherapy-this group seems relatively quiet compared to the others but would appreciate contact with others in this group - the chemo regime is different from a lot I’ve read in other groups and have got six sesssions of taxa/carboplatin and would like to talk with others on this regime/got through it/about to start etc
Hi Wizz, I'm brand new to the forum. I was diagnosed with tnbc a month ago and am 5 weeks into chemo. I'm British but currently living in Hong Kong.
I'm having 12 weeks of weekly paclitaxel, every 3 weeks I'll have an additional infusion of carboplatin. Once those 12 weeks are up I have a two week break then I have fortnightly cyclophosphamide for 8 weeks.
I'll then have surgery (I do have some lymph node involvement) and radiotherapy.
Hi
I Was diagnosed with TN April 2018. I then had 4 x FEC and 4 x Docetaxel. I had these every 3 weeks.
I then had lumpectomy in Nov, no lymph node involvement. Went back for the results 3 weeks later and got the all clear. I then went on to have 15 x rads.
I just took one chemo at a time and thought everytime I had my treatment, it was a step closer to getting better.
Good luck with your treatment!
Thankyou fortaking the time to respond-still waiting to start chemo as had 3 weeks antibiotics 3 weeks after the surgery so the waiting is causing a lot of physical as well as mental issues
Thankyou for your response to me
im still waiting to start chemo as post operative mastitis has taken 3 weeks of antibiotic to clear up and that happened 3 weeks after the surgery which appeared to be healing well
