@jshaeffergirl - I too had treatment for triple negative but I'm also BRCA2+. I researched and prepped for each treatment as it arose, so I could be prepared for possible side effects. I had chemo followed by bilateral then radiation lastly followed by Lynparza. I finished all my treatment beginning of 2025. I feel as if I was one of the fortunate ones - I breezed thru all treatments.

Thanks for your reply. I am BRCA negative but they are treating it as triple negative even though I am low estrogen positive so I'll do an adjuvant therapy after surgery which includes an immune therapy and hormone therapy as well. May I ask what you mean by you researched and prepped for each treatment. I am a Neonatal nurse so I do a certain amount of research but I want to hear what you did exactly. How did you prepare? I've been told that cold capping may help so I'm going to do that. I also have been told that I need cold socks and gloves to reduce the chance of neuropathy as the drug taxol can cause peripheral damage so I'm bringing those in a cooler. Any suggestions for preparing?
