To bpknitter: I am triple-negative as well. Do you recall what chemo you used? I am approaching the point where that will be discussed. I know everyone is different but I am interested in learning more about what others have used.

@mkb4435 - sorry for the delayed response here is the treatment I received:
4 treatments (1 every 3 weeks) - ⦁ Chemo mix Adriamycin – IV push – 90 mg/Cytoxan – IV drip – 900 mg. I also took took Aprepitant (to help with nausea) 1 hr before treatment. Also gave myself injection of Filgrastim (to help with low blood count). I had treatment Thursday late in the day, took it easy on Friday, slept late on Saturday and started to feel better on Sunday.
12 treatments (once a week) - Chemo mix Taxol – IV drip – 110 mg. Took night before & morning of treatment – famotidine & Dexamethasone. This had a tendency to make me constipated so I kept prunes and prune juice on hand to help with regularity.
I hope this information is helpful. But again this was neoadjunct treatment (before surgery or radiation) and I'm not only triple negative but also BRCA2+ - which might make my treatment different than yours.
