Hiya I’ve been diagnosed Feb with this triple cancer - positive.
not good with the names yet.
Im feeling lost totally adrift from the world I was in before February.
Start 1st chemo tomorrow morning , 3 weeks of chemo and I week of another for the HER2
Finally received link few mins ago to BCNA I’ve been told I’ll have a nurse back in Feb, went to appt to meet nurse - no one showed up left after few hours Breast Cancer Clinic waiting room Totally in the wilderness, can you point me in the right direction if this is not the group for Oestrogen + Progesterone + and HER2 in Lobe
Thank you very much for taking time.
Sorry to hear of your diagnosis and that you didn't get to meet with a BC nurse. Definitely follow up on the BC nurse, as they are very helpful. Mine could visit while I was having chemo, so maybe ask if that is possible?
We have a private Triple Positive Group - you can select to join through "Groups" at the top menu. But otherwise, there are awesome people who can provide you with their experience in this thread.
Chemo is daunting, but you do what you have to do. I completed six rounds of TCHP chemo for triple positive cancer, one session every three weeks. Make sure you tell your oncologist and the hospital about any side effects.
Be kind to yourself. Eat whatever works for you and drink lots of water. Take books, puzzles or whatever you like to do, as the first session of chemo takes quite a while (they go slowly to watch for any reaction).
Try to do some form of exercise (even just walking) over the time you are completing chemo, as it is known to provide both mental and physical benefits.
All the best for tomorrow morning xx
Thank you so much. Treatment changed to today. It's early am. Can't sleep, been reading and now reply to posts.
I'll ask about BC nurse today at treatment.
Big smiles and regards
