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
