Hi Melia, I was 39 when i was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in January 2015. I had lumpectomy, 6 chemo (fec-t) and 19 radiotherapy doses. I've no children. My husband was brilliant during my treatment. I was fortunate to have a Maggies centre nearby too. I found the surgery recovery not too bad, chemo i didn't like the fec part of the treatment, i had quite a few side effects, ( tiredness, mouth ulcers, muscle weakness, nausea, hair loss, ) but not everyone gets them. Radiotherapy at the western general in Edinburgh was pretty straightforward. The thing is about cancer treatment is that each of our bodies act differently. A few people are fortunate enough to not get many side effects. I wish you all the best with your treatment.
