Hi Submarine. So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. This a great place to get information about treatment from others who have gone through or are going through what you are experiencing. We are all so different but unfortunately some people have tougher times with chemo than others. Is there one particular chemo side effect that is worse than the others? Do you have to have radiation? I had a lumpectomy, 4 rounds of TC chemo, 30 sessions of radiation and 17 rounds of Herceptin. I only have 2 more herceptins to go and then I would have had over 12 months of treatment. Having young kids also presents a unique set of challenges. I have 3 boys but they are much older. Ask any questions you want and I am sure someone on here will have an answer for you. It's also good to let your oncology team know about ALL side effects. They are so used to treating these that they may have some really good tips or other drugs to help you as well. I know how overwhelming treatment can be so if you ever need to vent come on here as well. We are all here to support you. 

Sending hugs, Nadine
