Just diagnosed

Hi jules, Don't stress about your chemo, going in it doesn't hurt nor react straight away so you'll be okay. I had fec & docsitaxel? And the first lot would hit later that night (felt like an elephant sitting on my body) then second one (changed after three treatments) would hit 48hrs later. I then mastectomy and radiation. I was diagnosed April 13 and had treatment all last year. Had a break over Chrissy and found out March this year it had spread again to more lymph nodes and a few spots on my lungs. I'm triple negative with the brca1 gene and managed to get in to a clinical trial at royal melbourne. I've had five rounds so far and had a scan recently which showed it to be working and tumours shrinking. I say half the time bc is a psychological battle, you'll be fine all day and when you go to bed that's when your mind starts working on you, hard to shut it off sometimes. I handled the chemo really well my battle was the weight gain and hair loss they're the parts that suck! Don't read too much stuff into ibc stuff as each person is different and don't let to scare you, there are plenty of us out there still going strong!!! Fleur xxx
