Newly Diagnosed - TNBC - Mantis

Thanks for your reply @SoldierCrab

The breast care nurses sent me a great book from Canteen for my older kids.  I haven't given it to them yet but I think once the more obvious physical changes from chemo start to happen I'll hand it over and talk a bit more with them.  Step by step seems to be the way to go.

I have now had my first appointment with my oncologist and feel a bit better having a plan of attack.  I start chemo on Friday and will be having 4 cycles of fortnightly dose dense AC followed by weekly paclitaxel x 12.

I'm also booked in for a bone scan and CT scan next week because of an ongoing hip issue which I'm pretty sure is running related but just to be sure.

I am having a port inserted prior to the second cycle of AC.  Are the ports comfortable day-to-day??  Do they get sore after treatment??

Thanks again :-)
