Hi I don’t really know what I am asking here to be honest I have Tripple negative breast cancer grade 3 stage3b big lump with node positive and enlarged lymph nodes had my first chemo of EC last Thursday the 15 Jan thankfully I feel well after it no sickness or anything but my mood is really low and so scared for the future and the outcome. I’m currently taking serimel 50mg once a day I am signed off work now and find the day really long no real interest in doing housework I do go for a walk but I am keeping my distance because your immune system is low during chemo. Just feeling so overwhelmed by it all I think I was coping better before this have really supportive family and husband who can’t do enough for me. So sorry for the long rant. If there is anybody else in similar situation maybe could reach out.

Hi @carrie25
Sending big hugs
I had tnbc in 2021. One breadt no lymph involved. Had EC followed by Paclitaxel then double mastectomy as I am BRCA2.
This whole thing is very challenging, facing the unknown, the side effects and our own enemy the brain when it goes crazy thinking very random and scary things.
My days during treatment were filled with yoga, breathwork, colour healing, walking, planning meals, I would start making meals then my husband would finish as I would run out of energy. I did a whole load of reading and research into natural remedies that could help me too. Knowing someone who was given 6 months to live and then was still here many years later because of his change in diet was my first port of call.
The rest of my time was chilling. Jigsaws were my thing and being outside.
Being in the know and making informed decisions helped me think I was in control of what was going on. Made me confident and positive that all would be well. Doing lots of good things and not letting me go down the route of negative thoughts. If negative thoughts did pop in I had a mantra that said “I wish I was on benidorm beach” and think of me actually being there. This helps banish nasties that entered my head. Especially when I was stressed or tired.
The breast care nurses referred me for massages, accupuncture, mindfulness and therapy sessions. Holistic centres or Maggies can help with these.
Chin up my lovely. You’re on a great forum here and you will get loads of tips that you can pick from.
Remember to celebrate each day and go to bed feeling you won at something in that day. No matter how little the thing is the big thing is you WON the day
Take care
I’ve been feeling exactly the same. I had Tnbc in 2022 and coped really well, got the all clear and now I have a recurrence it’s completely knocked me. I feel exhausted from stress, panicked and over thinking all the time. In my experience, the more into treatment you get the easier things get. (I start again on Friday) you get into a routine and things feel easier. Especially once the finish line gets closer.
look up Vicky fox - she does wonderful online yoga classes for cancer. And try to book things in that you can look forward to.
