Hi Serenity11

I was diagnosed with tnbc on 30/1 and had a primary tumour of 23mm tumour and secondary (ductal) of 130mm, Grade 3 cancer. I'm 39, no history of breast cancer either.

I started chemo just over 2 weeks ago and am on a completely different cycle to you which is interesting.  I'm on FEC 3 x 3 weekly and then taxotere 3 x 3 weekly, then radiotherapy as well.

The side effects so far have been nausea, a rash (due to anti-nausea drug), throat ulcers, tiredness and as of yesterday, hair falling out.  I get a port in next Monday which I'm not looking forward to.

I went back to work the day after my first chemo and have coped okay, but am now suffering low blood counts and so am in quarantine working from home - thank goodness for the internet!

Are you having or have you had gene testing as well?  I'm still waiting on my referral for that one.

Good luck with it all.  It's not a nice place to be, but one we have no control over and can only make the best of a bad situation.

All the best, Tammy x
