@dibrun I am sorry to hear that you are needing chemo. There will be good days and bad days taking it, as there are with any strong treatments. I took chemo and radiation for invasive ductal carcinoma.
Knowing more about you and your cancer might help me to give you tips. Can you tell me more about yourself and your cancer?

Well it’s been a while…I apologize for time passed ….I am dx’ed with Triple Neg Breast Cancer. A year prior I did a heavy upper body workout resulting in not being able to raise my left arm and tore muscle. That was November of 21. January of 22 a huge blood bruise appeared on left breast …..healed away leaving a nut sized ball of scar tissue. In August I noticed changes (had grown quickly)….testing dx of TNB . Gave team whiplash in that the tumor was originally scar tissue for with TNB there surely would have been metastasis . No lymph, involvement , nor chest wall, right breast clear….. This changed perception of team. Giving them whiplash. I am now about to complete 12 weeks of chemo…with Keytruda…. Carbo platinum and Abrexane since I had allergic reaction to Taxol…..to be followed by dose dense AC every 2 weeks ….=8 weeks. Negative for Braca 1/2. Tumor has shrunk / disappeared . The upshot is it would seem turn to cancer was early. Chemo to date has been without side effects and labs I am told are textbook perfect. So I am cautiously optimistic in outcome . And readying myself for this last round of chemo.
