Hi all
I was told I had cancer on 15th December 2023. And confirmed as Stage 3 TNBC a week later. This was a complete shock, I’d found a lump but just thought it would be a cyst. I started chemotherapy early February, I had 12 weeks of Paclitaxel and carboplatin (3 weekly immunotherapy) then EC every three weeks (4 lots) finally finishing at the end of June. I then had a wide local excision the beginning of August. I then had 19 sessions of radiotherapy starting in early October. I’m still having immunotherapy and I’ve got to have 4 teeth out so I can have Zoledronic every 6 months
The point of my post is nearly 12 months ago I couldn’t see an end to this. It felt like it was a never ending nightmare, yes it was awful at times, but I got through it. There’s hope,it won’t feel like it at times but keep going. This place is really good for information and support. Love to all going through this journey xx
What a wonderful post. You are right, there is hope. I kept wondering how I was going to get through it and now all my side effects, but there's so much support from my doctor, gp, macmillan, family and friends. We can do this

Thankyou, had a reaction today for my third which scared me a bit. Had to have cortisone so now I’m worried about the side effects of that and it making my heartburn worse!
Hoping my insurance will cover a change to a “hypoallergenic” version next time 
Glad you found it manageable and are doing ok!
