March Chemo starter

Hi I’ve got triple negative breast cancer and start chemo on 23rd March with an op at the end . I’ve only been told I’ll have 8 sessions, one per fortnight and have been given info on EC chemo and Paclitaxel . I have a telephone information call this week so hopefully I’ll learn more. It is so helpful to read all the threads and hear the tips. I am by myself so am a bit concerned how I’ll cope!

Hi I’m on the same treatment as you had my first ec on 11th March was scared about how it would be the actual infusion was fine everyone so friendly went really quick haven’t had any nausea have been tired and felt achy I did start a journal of how I was feeling see if this is the same every time it’s all a learning curve and everyone is different just listen to your body if you need to rest then rest good luck it really isn’t as bad as you imagine x

I had my first EC on 18 March, no sickness but the tiredness is real! Today is my first day of getting changed, having a shower etc. I’m keeping a journal to see if there’s a pattern. Hoping over the weekend I’ll regain some energy x
