I too am TNBC. Stage 1, 1cm lumpectomy on February 3rd, nodes clear. Getting port April 1st then 4 rounds of chemotherapy. 65 years old. Any advice on dealing with port and preparing for chemotherapy? It seems like this is dragging on and I just want it over with! Hard to take 1 day at a time!

My care team was very aggressive with my care. I was diagnosed with tnbc August 2017, had a lumpectomy procedure in September and a port placement in the same month. Started chemo in October (red devil) regiment, then a different one afterwards I finished radiation treatment in April. I worked the entire time which kept me sane. I was a teacher at the time of my first cancer journey. My students kept me going. I couldn’t give up on them and they were determine not to give up me 😭. It is important to be positive about your journey. Cry, rest, learn healthy eating habits but also enjoy life. Your new normal will be whatever you choose it to be. 💕💕💕Take care
