Hello @kevachanel38 I am sure you are just a mess right now with emotions running high. I remember what it was like when I was diagnosed in my 30’s, although I am not triple negative. 💕
Since you are starting chemo, I wanted to speak to that. It is so frightening because we don’t know what to expect, I was terrified. Truthfully, it was awful but not painful and really the worst was only 3-5 days at a time, and with all of the stuff that went with it for me, it wasn’t half as bad as I feared. My biggest fear is always uncontrollable pain, and there was very little pain involved.
I took Taxol , Adriamycin, and Cytoxin so there was some nausea, a fair amount of fatigue and I was as bald as the day I was born. I am not vain, quite the opposite so the bald meant nothing to me. I can say the nausea meds have improved considerably since I took chemo.
All the chemo drugs are different, and they affect every patient differently but some things are really expected.
Do you know what drugs you will be on and what your regimen will be yet?
