Hi @Braveheart60 and welcome. I was diagnosed in September with TNBC and have just completed four rounds of AC and on Wednesday start weekly taxol. I remember my first treatment feeling anxious, not knowing what to expect and how I would feel. Firstly, this website is fantastic and the ladies on here are so supportive and give brilliant advice.
The three things that have helped me through the last twelve weeks have been - exercise (I haven't been able to run which I love) but walking every day, reaching out to family and friends (a phone call or message makes all the difference) and thankfully I have still been able to carry on working part-time (it has helped me to keep busy).
I found the first week after treatment the hardest with nausea (but the anti-nausea meds helped) and fatigue. The following two weeks I felt a lot better and I just had to learn to listen to what my body was telling me. The steroids they give you I found had me up at crazy hours the first two days with lots of energy that day and then day four you hit a bit of a wall but push through. I haven't had any problems with food tasting metallic and thankfully have just carried on eating what I normally have. I try to drink lots of water with lemon/lime in it and I decided early on to break my journey into chunks part A chemo, Part B chemo, surgery, etc otherwise if I looked at the big picture it was at times a bridge too far.
My hair fell out by day 21 and this was probably the hardest thing for me but I got a really great wig, lots of caps and had my eyebrows tattooed on before treatment (which has been great). My brows and lashes have thinned a bit.
The power of the mind is important also, continue to do things that you love and enjoy.
Good luck for your first treatment tomorrow xx
