Re: 66-year old male with triple-positive breast cancer - still working
Had my first round of chemo 10 days ago. Having an infusaport inserted before my 2nd round of chemo. Plan to have my COVID vaccination 4 days before 3rd round of chemo. So far so good

Re: 66-year old male with triple-positive breast cancer - still working
Thank you so much for all the lovely comments and inspiring stories. I think for me the big takeaway is to wait and see how the chemo affects me. I have been in hospital again this week to receive intravenous antibiotics as my axilla operation site had become infected. Chemo will now be delayed by a week but in the scheme of things that is nothing.

66-year old male with triple-positive breast cancer - still working
Hi, I was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer in April 2021. Had a mastectomy and axillary lymph node clearance in May 2021 by Dr Di Hastrich at the Mount Hospital in Perth. Will start a TCH chemo regimen in May 2021under the guidance of Dr Albert Gan. I started in a new job at Arc Infrastructure in March 2021. My employer has been super supportive. I am concerned about my ability to keep working during chemo. I lost my wife to breast cancer. I am not afraid of dying, but rather want to know how I can best live my life going forwards.
