Hi Jen,
I am also another who was 41 when I found my Grade 3 TNBC. Lumpectomy and Auxillary Clearance followed by Chemo and Radiotherapy. I had 5 girls at the time 10 months - 8 years and live in Bundaberg. I only had to travel to Brisbane for my first two Chemos and could have the rest in Bundaberg. I found eating before Chemo really helped and also I know I probably shouldn't but Coke was the one thing I could drink that tasted ok for the first couple of days, with alternating water and it also helped with my small amount of nausea. I was petrified for my first Chemo but when it was over I was shocked that I felt quite o.k. and normal. I don't know what I was expecting. Everyone is different, do you have a Breast Care Nurse in Airlie? We are blessed with a McGrath Nurse in Bundaberg. What about Radiotherapy? I am glad you have found this group and BCNA are a wonderful support with loads of resources. Good news I am 46 now and will be having my five year scans next month. Be kind to yourself, seek support and vent here anytime. xx
