Very new TNBC patient

Hi Cas, I think I was better prepared for the rest of the docetaxel. I had terrible trouble with fluid retention due to lymph node removal in my right arm pit. I just took pain killers as required and generally just do what you can and don't worry about what you can't. Everybody is different. Have you painted your nails a dark colour? I did this through my whole treatment and eventually I did lose my finger nails but the new ones had grown underneath first. Taste buds wee nonexistent for about two weeks aft each round. But, as I said, most ,of my issues were to do with fluid retention. I would take endone to sleep for a few days and had Panadeine forte every six hours through the whole time. Yes, basically just do it. But do pamper yourself too! Don't be afraid to ask me anything. I found I learnt the most from other women. And it was really positive to see someone who is a little way further down the track than yourself. As my lymphodema specialist says......This too will pass. Xxx
