Partner Diagnosed, Now What?

Hi, I’m so sorry for your news. I was diagnosed in September with TNBC and am now halfway through my chemo treatment. 
I have a scan Friday to see if it’s shrunk and then Monday an appointment about surgery. 
it sounds like you are a great support. Financially it’s a difficult time being off work for so long. You can apply for PIP & should get SSP. 
we had no idea what to expect but we have found our feet and in a lil routine. I know when my bad days are and Il just be very fatigued and stay in bed. Then at the end of the week I’m more myself and can have better quality times with the children before back to it again! 
I’m having weekly chemo and weekly PICC line cleaning/bloods taking so unsure what your regime will be but you have each other and you will get through it. 
At the beginning I found the waiting the hardest for tests/scans, meeting oncologists but I can honestly say they are amazing and there is so much treatment out there and new trials.

wishing you the best 

Chemo is likely to be 24 weeks, half with one drug combo and half with another. She may (depending on the pathology of her tumour) be a candidate for immunotherapy, if so that’s given alongside the chemo. Everyone reacts differently to chemo, but most people don’t get all the side effects nor do they have them all the time. Support her by taking the strain off her on the days when she feels the worst. Hoping it all goes well.
