Hi
I am also a TNBC, had a 3.5 cm tumour, had a lumpectomy, followed by chem, taxol & radiation which I finished in December. The worse part is I now have tinnitus, there are times when it's pretty bad and I feel like I'm going crazy, I find if I am kept pretty busy I don't notice the ringing in my ears. The chemo has thrown me into menopause, so getting hot flushes and aches and pains in my legs, so glad the weather has gotten cooler. Whilst I am grateful to be alive it's now trying to live with these side affects and my mental state has suffered, getting motivated is becoming an effort, it's a hard slog. My hair has grown back and I don't look sickly but for a long time there I hated my eyes and what chemo does to you. Yes it's hard to move on from our diagnosis & treatment, I tend to listen to music (to distract the ringing in my ears), I can't concentrate for long periods in reading books though. None of us wanted this awful disease but we keep putting one foot forward and keep moving - somehow.
