Hi I'm new here 😔 I'm 32 and was diagnosed with tnbc in December 2024, after multiple scans, drs found 1 tumor in right breast, wasn't old i have lesions on my spine but clearly drs forgot about that lol, I started chemo Paclitaxel end of January 2025 and after now 2 cycles/dose I've noticed that my tumor has shrunk after fair bit, but I'm still scared, I had treatment yesterday and my collarbone on right side is swollen and very sore. I'm so scared 😱

    Hugs! Wishing you all the best with your treatment. I raise all my worries with my treating team (usually oncologist or gp) to get checked out just in case. Often there can be many reasons for soreness or swelling, but I have been getting it checked out each time for peace of mind. Recently I felt a tender lump under my arm but it went away by itself and ultrasound has confirmed there is no lump there. If it was cancer, though very scary, I would want to know asap so that action can be taken. Wishing you the best at this stressful time
