@onemargie Can you help @kellee with info on this?
I haven't got TNBC but have just finished the chemo. It's not a fun experience but you can get through it and do remember, that everyone is affected differently. And there's different chemo regimens. I couldn't have managed work during it, but apart from that it was mostly manageable - for me it was all about giving myself time and space to deal with the side effects. Others are able to bounce off to work (well, maybe bounce is an exaggeration) for most of their treatment. The worst time was the first treatment when I went for days without getting stronger medication because I was dopey enough to think I wouldn't be able to get it on the weekend. Once that was sorted out, and I got a feel for the timeframe of the side effects, I was able to manage it more effectively.
Anyway, welcome kellee - you've come to the right place for support, information and the odd laugh - we all "get it" here.
