The pink sisters on your other post have all made excellent suggestions - I am posting on this one because I am tnbc too. Two years ago I had the bilateral mastectomy, chemo weekly for 12 weeks, 28 radiation zaps, and then a hysterectomy as a preventative measure. And here I am - living my "new normal". There is light at the end of the tunnel - you are right to just take things one day at a time. It is surprising how fast the time goes once the roller coaster gathers speed.
My best hint is to buy a big file and plastic sleeves, and keep everything in it, from pathology reports to appointments, drug schedules, receipts, etc. Your life is about to become very busy and our memories are not great while on chemo. Have you sent for your My Journey kit yet? It is invaluable for information and help. I had a wicker box for all my "stuff" and it really helped.
Keep in touch, Natty - we are all here for you. Big hug xxx Michelle
