Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Hi @kevachanel38 ,

I was diagnosed with triple negative at 38, too - I am so sorry. It was the worst. You can take friends to chemo, I definitely recommend that. Your nurses should be a really great resource. I was definitely the youngest person there for all infusions and treatments but one - there was a 26 year old guy next to me once, I about fell out of the chair when I heard a 1990s date-of-birth.

I found fasting before chemo to help with nausea and long walks to help with mental health.

Both my husband and I saw therapists during treatment, to help with feelings about the cancer journey and being new parents.

If you are part of a couple/partnership I highly recommend City of Hope's free monthly zoom group therapy for couples dealing with cancer. It's the only group I could find where both caregiver and canncer patient can get support from other pairs of caregivers and cancer patients.

Hugs.

awww thank you for sharing your journey with me I appreciate your kind words of encouragement , unfortunately I don't have a partner just a guy friend , he say he will be there every step of the way but you never know. I do have friends and I probably will bring one of them with me for support. Thank you for the hugs, I really needed them .
