Well I am older and not triple positive I was hormone receptiove and HER2 negative with clear margins and no node activity all YAY, and then whamy my KI67 index showed my cancer was extremely aggressive and my tumour was against the chest wall with a possability of migration that way so chemo was recommended.
I was so scared of the chemo and had myself all worked up over it, anticipation is so much worse than participation though. Believe me it was crap and I had every side effect thrown at me and had 2 bad weeks and 1 good one, but today I had my 2nd session and I was not scared this time, that made things easier. This round I am all set-up with all the things I need, a suggestion find out if you have a 24 hour pharmacy if not have a look at the side effects and the meds needed and stock up prior so that your not caught out after hours.
Take care and good luck with your visit to the oncologist.
