First 4 cycles of AC/DC done. One step at the time makes me feel like a Winner.
Hi All, Hope everyone is doing great here and managing the side effects well. I completed my 4 cycles of the AC/Dc combo package and will start with the 12 cycles of weekly taxol from mid September. Luckily for me the red devil was not too bad apart from I have lost complete taste Nd my hair is gone . The nausea and minor reflux issues were managed well with medication and fatigue was also ok for me. I was constipated though and needed coloxyl. Can you all share your experiences with taxol. I can make a list of what to expect and atleast be mentally prepared. I am returning to part time work from 1st October and hoping to get some experiences as how work can be managed? The support and stories give a lot of encouragement 🙂 Thanks PriyaGetting prepared for 12 cycles of Taxol

@Alfie...all the best. Hope the axillary clearence goes well. I had the surgery on 4th June and luckily it went well. No complains. Stay positive and lots of healing lights for you. Regarding the caps, I saw a few online but did not research much. Hope you find something for yourself lovely.My painting for my Surgeon
Hey creative buddies, I recently made this painting for my surgeon as a thankyou gift. I named this painting cosmic connection. I will be doing a lot more in the coming days while I enjoy my chemo journey :) Hopefully one day I can start my own exhibitions and sale my paintings to raise funds for everyone going through the breast cancer journey. I pledge to support all my cancer mates with anything little I can do to contribute. 😍Re: Need to talk
Thankyou for all the comments. I am going to get my hair cut done on Saturday Nd will discuss about head wear Nd wigs. I am positive and getting a lot of courage reading about all the individual journey you had :) Glad to be a part of this group. My birthday is in a few days and I have raised a fund-raiser towards a donation for BCNA.Need to talk
Hi I am priya a 36 yr old mum of 8 yr old daughter. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I had 2 surgeries and the 16mm lump was removed and all the lymph nodes aswell. Surgically m cancer free now but have a long treatment plan ahead. I will start with my chemo soon... I just want to talk and get some positive experience about the chemo journey. I have been told I will lose my hair. I really don't know what awaits...My nurse advised to go online and talk to everyone in this forum and that might ease me down. I would appreciate if I can get any suggestions on how I can walk this path with lots of positivity. Thankyou
Groups
Work and breast cancer
PUBLIC GROUP - This is a space to connect around the challenges and questions that come with managing work and breast cancer. Whether you're navigating time off, returning to work, dealing with workplace conversations, or exploring your rights and options, you're welcome here. This group is open to the public (not just members of our online network) to help broaden access to important information, practical advice, and peer support.Young women & breast cancer
This group is for young women affected by breast cancer. In the context of breast cancer treatment, ‘young’ usually refers to women who are pre-menopausal. Here, you can connect with others who understand the unique challenges that come with a diagnosis at a younger age. We talk about things like fertility, pregnancy, early menopause, ovarian suppression, relationships, and the emotional impact of treatment and recovery. Whether you're newly diagnosed or further along in your journey, this is a safe space to ask questions, share experiences, and support one another. You are not alone during this uncertain and overwhelming time.
