Julie is so right - just eat what you want and listen to your body. We all get a bit needle-phobic with blood tests and chemo. The Cancer Council has relaxation CDs, which help you to breathe more slowly when you feel the pressure mounting, and their visualisation technique really helps as well. I pinch the fingers of my other hand really hard - this hurts more than the needle ever does but it's okay because I am doing it to myself - go figure!
Like you, I am also Triple Negative, diagnosed in April this year, started chemo 10th May after surgery. If you would like to become a Contact, let me know and we can compare notes along the way. All the very best -
