Triple negative breast cancer

Hi Catmad 

It's natural to be scared about possible side effect of chemo. I had two different types of chemo when I was being treated for TNBC and I didn't suffer sickness on either. What type of chemo have you just had?

Hi I'm having neoadjuvant chemo/immunotherapy I have had first dose last Tues it's going to be one a week thankyou for you're reply

What's the name of the chemo you're having? The reason I ask is because different types can have different side effects. I had 3 cycles of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide, commonly called EC, followed by 12 weeks of paclitaxel. 

My chemo wasn't combined with immunotherapy, as that wasn't available two years ago when I was being treated, and also I had mine after surgery.

Hi Catmad ...

It sounds like both you and I are on the same treatment plan .... I was due my first round last Wednesday, but it was cancelled at the last minute due to finding Estrogen fed cancer in my other breast ... But Chemotherapy/immunotherapy to begin this coming Tuesday ...

I'm from Derbyshire 

It will be good to see how we both get on from week to week  

Yes it will help knowing how it effects us and how we can possibly help each other. I'm from Sunderland.

Nice to meet you   

My daughter ordered  this to help with preventing neuropathy..... while having chemo treatment.

Nice to meet you too. Let me know if they work.

Hi 

I had twelve weeks of paclitaxol, carbo every week plus immunotherapy every three weeks, then  EC chemotherapy every three weeks,  then surgery, then radiotherapy. It’s all doable. I was never sick but felt a bit worse on the EC chemo.  I used the cold cap and kept a lot of my hair.  
best of luck.  It’s a bit of a journey but you will get there. 

Also I had neuropathy in my feet quite bad. I didn’t wear socks as no one mentioned that to me.  The neuropathy is now gone though. Took a couple of months after chemo to disappear. 

Wow you been through it I'm just starting I opted not to have cold cap I'm a chicken always had long hair but cut it short ready to lose it all. My daughter gets married this week too so a bit of an emotional ride this week you're amazing going what you have gone through.
