Hi ladies and thanks for your kind replies so today we were hopeful but yet again it’s been cancelled - it’s 2 weeks since she had any chemo now and the 3rd time it’s been cancelled ive offered to have the children and do all the chores etc but I work i was thinking of maybe getting a sick note myself ( stress) as I only have7 hours of holiday left will see - I’ve mentioned the honey and the filgrastim We are waiting to here from her consultant but I agree she should stay off work She is worried about running out of sock pay but I guess that’s for a different forum thanks again x

Hi my daughter managed 3 x 3 weekly sessions and was on session 8 of 12 weekly ones when her chemo was stopped due to low neurophils The week after it was Ok again but this week it’s been stopped again due to the same thing Is there anything she can do herself? She has 3 children and still working Also will this have a negative effect on the chemo results ? She is worried sick the cancer is spreading and that it won’t be as strong Also, is this normal? To keep missing chemos? Any advice please? Xx

Thank you Charlie O and good luck with the rads. Must have been horrendous shock for you and so hard when you are about to give birth and 2 very small children. Great you have your mum and bet she is brilliant. Sorry the results were a bit naff and you are to have chemo again. Hopefully the new treatment will zap everything like Shi says. We have not even thought about rads yet so good tips Shi. On a positive note my daughter had her post first chemo check today and consultant very pleased that lump and nodes have reduced substantially . So I’m guessing we got lucky with the right chemo and you will to Charlie O . Best of luck to you all xx

Mishy28 thanks for your reply and sharing that you are a year on - that’s really good. I think my daughter may have joined the Warriors Facebook group very recently so good to know it’s a good place to be. I also get that there are definitely survivors but enjoying their life hopefully to the full xx

AnnieA thank you and I’m so pleased for you and your children . I agree that a lot of the info you look up is outdated and a tad negative too. You have helped a lot. Like my daughter you are very young and will know how hard it is fitting in everything with young children . I hope you have a good mum/ husband etc to help you . Have a great Christmas xx

Thanks Mai7 - I have started to read your journey lifeafterlola and will read it all. I have already found it very inspiring and great to see some positive research is being done in TNBC because initially you feel a bit robbed that you can’t have some of the treatments. But I’m sure everyone going on thru this has other stuff and let’s hope they find new treatments. Thank you for sharing this. I am passing this to my daughter and will suggest the going thru treatment. Her first ever chemo was 4 days ago so we are poised and hopeful of a not too bad Christmas. You enjoy yours too Mai7 xx

Hi Im trying to give a bit of hope to my daughter who at 35 has been diagnosed with stage 3 invasive cancer that’s spread to lymph nodes. Scans say it hasn’t yet spread to main organs but there may be micro cells with intent going round system. She has just had her first chemo 3 days ago and feeling weepy. She thinks that all the survivors seem to have had other types of cancer - not triple negative . I keep finding inspiration then learning that the person did not have triple negative which is making her worse. Any advice please? Just trying to be positive but so hard - she has 3 children the youngest is 3 -she also thinks this type of cancer is the worst at coming back thank you in advance xx

I shuddered reading this. My heart goes out to you My daughter is also 35 and also been diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative cancer. She didn’t go to the doctors until 7 months had passed and the cancer has now spread into her lymph nodes. We start chemo a week before Christmas . She has 3 children the youngest being just 3 years old . How can this have happened? I think you really need to sit down and speak with your son in law. If he won't meet you just turn up and I bet he will be ok on a face to face basis . This is your daughter and it must be breaking your heart not being able to be with her the whole time. He is obviously struggling too . Are you able to speak to his mum? I hope you find the strength to battle ahead with this. I think your son in law actually needs you there but won’t admit it. Why not delicately suggest he has a little break somewhere like his mums or a mate . Just so you can sort the house and spend some time with your daughter. I bet ne needs the break and will be ok. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for you. My daughter lives one minute away and is a single parent with nobody else really. I’m struggling emotionally and thinking of giving up work as can’t cope. Being off dick not an option as I don’t yet qualify for sick pay. You are a lovely mum doing your very best for your daughter so please don’t beat yourself up . Please let me know how you go on xx
