2nd round chemo & port inserted

I was diagnosed triple negative in Nov, made it through my 4 AC and have completed 3 taxol so far with 9 left to go. Looking back on AC it was like being a zombie for a 5-6 days then waking up just in time to go again. But I promise you it will get better on taxol. So far the side effects have been limited to tiredness and a few aches and pains....and I've actually had a few days when I've felt almost normal again. Hang in there....you'll get through it! It's a long marathon we are running so remember to be kind to yourself, rest when you need to. I lost my hair 8 days after my first AC and had a wig ready to go but with the hot weather I couldn't wear it all the time so it's bandanas for me. I was a bit self-conscious about wearing a bandana to work but it's all good and the most important thing is that we are comfortable! Good luck with the rest of your chemo! I've met some incredible women on the journey and we are all in this together! Love, Maryanne xxx
