Hi there Rachel Last year in may I was diagnosed with stage 2a grade 3 (3cm tumor) left breast triple neg bc aged 43. All scans clear and no lymph nodes involved. I'm negative for the gene though. I had 4 rounds of AC chemo and 4 rounds of paclitaxol fortnightly for 16 weeks. I had a mastectomy left side so I didn't have to have rads as well as chemo and then took the right one off - my choice 6 months later. I have two kids nearly 19 and 21 I'm a nurse and might have been able to work a few hours in the second week if my job wasn't so involved with the public and sick people so I chose not to work as my job was in general practice and being the middle of winter I just didn't want to catch anything and delay my treatment or worse end up in hospital. And to be honest I was pretty buggered most of the time so to be honest would not of been up to it. You will have to see how you go with it and how you feel. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. And it depends on what type of job you do too. You can get a thing called chemo brain which fucked me up at times and felt like my head was up my arse
