This is my first post in this group. I was diagnosed with TNBC which was picked up following a routine mammogram.
I started chemotherapy in December and I have just had the second in my second cycle. and started immunotherapy as well. I had dodgy liver results in December so they held off for a month.
I had a PICC line fitted, which I was nervous about, but it was fine and does make life much easier.
I am taking each day as it comes and getting used to my new tiredness levels. I was always a rush about kind of person and I have realised that does not work and slow and steady will win the day.
Hi FlowersinSpring and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I was diagnosed with TNBC in April 2022. I had a lumpectomy followed by 3 cycles of EC, 12 of paclitaxel and 10 sessions of radiotherapy. Immunotherapy hadn't been approved for treatment of TNBC when I started my treatment.
Glad to hear you seem to be tolerating the treatment well.
Hi latchbrook
Thanks for your message. It is interesting how all the treatments seem to differ. My surgery is scheduled for after chemo. I did have some really great news today as following an examination both tumors have reduced.
Great to read that your tumours have shrunk.
Yes, everyone's treatment is tailored to their circumstances which I think is great.
