Hi Can-bra, I received an almost identical diagnosis to yourself August 2015. So sorry to hear your news. It really sends you into a state of panic. I'm older, 66 and was very fit when diagnosised. I'm retired and have a wonderful husband to support me also a beautiful family. I got through the 6 months of chemo ok but could rest when I wanted to. My biggest problem was getting shingles during chemo and I it really knocked me. Maybe shingles is not any issue at your age but I believe people preparing to have chemo should be immunised prior to starting chemo.
My research reads that TNBC reacts very successively to chemo, so that is good news.
You seem to have so much to consider but it's so important to put yourself first. I understand your work is important, I was a career women too, but your health is everything, especially with a beautiful little 3 year old. Agree with previous comment accept all the help you can get, people want to help so let me but be assertive enough to stop the help when you need to.
I also had 20 rounds of Radiothreaphy which went well. My main problems have been once everything finished, tummy problems. And fatigue! Try and do when possible a walk every day, I have now returned to a light exercise program and continue to walk as much as possible. One day at time time is important to remember, although at present with so much going on with you this probably seems hard. Also everyone is different to how they react to chemo.
biggest suggests is to use this site and put yourself number one.
Take care.
Anne-Marie
