I was diagnosed with TNBC just under one year ago . Mine was 4cm With node involvement and I fully understand the the fear of TBNC .
I coped with it one day at a time . I talked to my children age 5 and 9 in a matter of fact way way about treatment and the hair loss. I emphasised the medicine was strong but good for me and I wanted to have it . I gave lots of those bedtime cuddles when kids feel safe to open up to you. My son did have some strange dreams but seemed to cope well. I talked to thier teachers early on.
Chemo was not as bad as I had feared and I kept in my mind that it would pass. The nurses were soo lovely and upbeat yet sensitive to those times i needed a cry.
I had my chemo outfit - leggings and a shirt for easy portacath access - I had a special bag with a note book pen hand cream lipbalm socks so each week it was all just ready to go with no thought involved.
I was told by my oncologist he planned to cure me and I put my faith in him.
Get through chemo it does end and be kind to yourself. Accept offers of help from everywhere.
Big big hug you are stronger than you know.xxangela
