Like you, I had a Grade 3 TNBC tumour, and also was givenTaxol and Carboplatin. My Oncologist is at HOCA on the Gold Coast, and I had 12xweekly sessions in 2012. I coped well until the last week - first time I felt really rotten throughout the whole 3 months. (Afterwards I had 28 rads, and a hysterectomy as extra insurance.)
I just wanted to tell you that 2 years later I feel completely normal, strong and healthy, and have just returned from 2 months travelling overseas. There is life after treatment!
Your port will make things so much easier for you. I found that walking really helped during chemo, green tea with ginger in the mornings, and ginger beer. All the very best - will be following your progress.
