Triple Negative battle
Hi all,
I am coming up to my 3rd chemo of EC this coming wednesday. I can not wait for chemo to finish but I have another 14 rounds to go.
I find the actual chemo doable but not the needles. Here...

Hi Narelle!
Welcome to the club noone wants to be a member of!
I was diagnosed with TNBC in 2011 after having a lumpectomy for Oestrogen +ve BC in 2009. It was a bit of a shock to have it come back as I'd had Chemo and radiation! So this time I could only have chemo.
I did 6 rounds of Taxotere and Carboplatin after a bi lateral mastectomy. It was brutal! The only thing that kept me going was knowing that it got easier as each 3 week period went by. I was so sick for the first week and a half or so but managed to get at least a week in where I felt so so and could do stuff.
14 rounds of chemo is huge so be positive that it will do the job! What is EC?
Try not to google too much Narelle. All the research is old. The statistics for us gals is going to much better when they are published in 5 years or so! Things are improving all the time. I did find the Triple Negative Foundation in the US a great resource though and they had a good blog too.
