Scared about the side effects of treatment
Hello everyone, I'm 35 with two young girls- I was initially diagnosed with LCIS just after a routine scan- but after my mastectomy surgery 2 weeks ago, the pathology has come back that I have HER...
Hi @Caity
Sorry to hear of your diagnosis and I can empathise - I felt the same shock/fear about being recommended chemo. I was diagnosed with Triple Positive in Dec 2023 - I am older (48) and with two teenage kids.
I completed 6 rounds of TCHP chemo/target therapy, finishing in April this year. I absolutely agree with all the suggestions from others above (Oral 7 mouthwash, eye drops, hydrolyte, gastrostop). I didn’t cold cap, but wished I did (in hindsight) as my hair is slow to grow back!!
Try to stay physically active as much as you can during chemo.

There are a bunch of awesome people in the Triple Positive private group, so you might want to join.
Feel free to ask any questions. All the best xx
