Hello I have just joined the group in the hope that someone is having a similar experience/or already been through the same as me and can offer some encouragement. I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast cancer end October 2020. My treatment plan is two phases of Chemo, followed by a removal of the tumour and then breast saving operation followed by 21 days of radiotherapy. I finished my 1st phase of Chemo which was 4 x ACdd (Doxorubicine and Cyclosfosamide). I had the MRI scan once this treatment was finished but unfortunately the tumour hasn't shrunk in fact it has doubled in size! This has really given me a knock as I just didn't expect to hear the bad news I just assumed the chemo would work. Has anyone else had the same case. I have now been told the breast will be removed ( possibly both depending on the results of the genetic testing). I have started the second phase of chemo treatment which is 12 weeks of Paclitaxel. Of course all my hopes are pinned on this working but its a waiting game and I am finding it hard to handle the not knowing.
Would love to hear from anyone going through the same ordeal.
Thank you for your encouragementCoco66, the only side effects I've had with this treatment is a fever the day after each infusion. I have been to the hospital a couple of times but no infection found so it seems that this is a side effect of the drug. Numbness in hand and 2 fingers is ongoing which I've been told could be the tumour pressing on the nerve. Apart from this I seem to be managing ok. I'm just hoping for some good news this time
