Hi there @Koukla you may have already read that I had TNBC may 2016 aged 43 and I was the same as you stage 2a grade 3 double mastectomy and no lymph nodes involved and scans all clear and I had no family history and am negative for the gene. My treatment was different to yours slightly I had 4 AC 2 weeks apart then 4 paclitaxol 4 weeks apart. And my chemo was in Redcliffe hospital and prior to each round of chemo I saw the oncol or if he was away which was only once from memory I saw another oncol. I finished chemo October 2016 and had the neuropathy until July last year. It stopped quite quickly along with those dreaded hot flushes thank god around the same time. You definately need to speak to your oncol whenever you feel the need Maybe give the nurses a ring on the ward I would call them if I had any questions and then if they couldn’t answer them they would ask my oncol and then get back to me or he would call me himself. So not sure what’s going on down there in NSW but you definitely have a choice to change if you want for sure I wouldn’t hesitate it’s too important. I found keeping my hands moving and warmth on them helped too. Didn’t have it anywhere else . Margie xx
