Rest rest rest that's what you need my love I has TNBC may last year aged 43 stage 2 grade 3 had 4 rounds AC two weeks apart and 4 rounds taxol two weeks apart no rads as I had mastectomy but you really have to listen to your body. I'm a nurse too and we don't make the best patients. And you being an oncol nurse would be even harder too I felt the best in the morning so made myself get up walk my dogs tidy my house do a load of washing get dinner ready (usually an easy heat and eat) and then spent the rest of the day on the couch or in the bath as those bloody neulasta injections are fucking shitty!! I have grown up kids so it was easier too and one had already left the nest. Hubby and our son would help as I needed it. I didn't have any neuropathy in my feet but had it in my hands and it's has nearly all gone now thank god. I slept on a towel in bed and that helped with the night sweats I could just change it through the night and hardly ever had the covers on. Chemo put me into menopause so has the hot flushes too but hardly have these now too thank god. Just some osteo like symptoms now but they feel better when I exercise. And I take panadol osteo PRN. Hope this helps feel free to PM me if you'd like to chat.
