Chemo next cycle
Hello all you other warriors! It still blows my mind that this is happening, this diagnosis and I am now in the fight. Diagnosed in April stage 2 palpable lump and positive in auxiliary lymph, high oncotype, grade 3, E+P+ and BRCA1 (got hit with all the things) 😑 But, I am going for weekly treatment #9 on Monday of the taxol chemo and I can give hope-by week 3 the breast lump was no longer palpable! I get 12 weeks of taxol total and then on to 4 rounds of AC-I am dreading. I've made it so far minimal side effects, scared AC gonna knock me hard bc ive been so lucky this far. Anyone make it thru ok, I am scared of being too sick to work or the daily life with my kids. Any advice how to keep going strong, I feel like this is never ending bc after chemo I have double mastectomy, ovaries and tubes removed, and then radiation 🫣 Appreciate you listening and any suggestions/support!

Great news about the lump being no longer palpable after Taxol #3!! Sounds like chemo is doing its job, and we love to hear that!
AC is definitely tough, but doable. You can learn more about it here:
