Hi all. This is a great place to discuss about this nonvisible disease. I was diagnosed with tnbc in march. Tumour size was 45x38 mm. I was offered neoadjuvant chemo fec t. I asked oncologist for carboplatin who said while the tumour has completely disappeared there is no need. I underwent surgery wle with the report pathologic complete responce. I am due to see medical oncologists soon. Though i finished chemo in July still have lot if fatigue. any body in my situation who had similar treatment?
Just to add, i was diagnosed of bc when i was on maternity leave, my daughter was only 8 months old. Chemo effects making life really hard.
Hello Nili,
I am sorry to hear that you have been struggling with fatigue since finishing chemotherapy, I am sure some of the users will be along soon to share their experiences of this.
In the meantime you may be interested in our Someone Like Meservice, we have around 200 volunteers on the service who offer support, including women with a TNBC diagnosis and experience of fatigue, as well as volunteers who had young children when they were diagnosed too. We can put you in touch with someone who has experience of the issues you are facing, someone who’s had breast cancer and understands.
If you would like to use the Someone Like Me service please do get in touch by email on: someonelikeme@breastcancercare.org.uk or by calling the service directly on 0114 263 6490.
Warm wishes,
Collette
Service Worker (Someone Like Me).
