I haven't introduced myself to this group but I too was diagnosed in November as Triple Negative.
I have cried a river but mostly in the shower when I am alone. I like Mandy am almost at the end of chemo (2 more Doctaxel to go). I have had some dramas along the way but that was with my PICC line which needed to be removed. Other than that the only side effects I have experienced are fatigue, bone pain and a few ulers in the mouth. Keeping my head straight is the hardest part. Everytime I notice something different I think the worst.
I have managed to walk 45 mins most mornings and have a 20 min swim in the afternoons. I make sure I go to bed and get up at the same time every day and if I can't sleep I take a sleeping tablet.
Be kind to yourself and accept all the help that is offered to you. Take pain relief and any other medication that is required to help you remain comfortable.
All the very best with your treatment.
