Hi there @WendyNev I was diagnosed may 2016 aged 43 with TNBC. Stage 2a grade 3 (3cm tumor) all scans clear no lymph nodes involved. Negative for the Gene took the affected boob off first then the other 6 months later as a preventative no rads either due to that. My chemo regime was different to yours and I’ve noticed since I finished chemo that more women are having your regime. I had dose dense chemo. 4 rounds of AC two weels apart and 4 rounds of taxol 4 weeks apart. I didn’t get neuropathy in my feet or toes just my hands and only after the last dose. It was manageable for me with pain relief and was only really sore first thing in the morning and this subsided as the day went on The symptoms virtually disappeared in July last year along with all my menopausal stuff and I’m just left with some osteo that I manage with exercise and panadol osteo. It’s totally up to you what your do. Do you have another 5 to go ? I’d continue if you can as long as it’s manageable as we dont grt to take any post treatment meds to help reduce recurrence like those with hormone receptive breast cancer and be careful with the supplements too. You can always discuss taking those post treatment if they aren’t recommended during chemo. Hope this helps. Margie xx
