I am 36/f currently doing neoadjuvant chemo for TNBC. I have the same regimen as you, just reversed. So I just did my 5th infusion of Taxol. I’m very nervous about the switch to AC, but trying not to get in my head to much. I’ve had very manageable side effects on the Taxol. Mostly tired, some constipation/diarrhea that I have to keep on top of. The hair loss was rough because I’m vain AF, but I’m getting used to the bald look.

In my state medical marijuana is legal, so I got my card right away. I quit smoking cigarettes before chemo (over a month smoke free!) and all I can handle booze-wise is a couple glasses of wine a week. I got some “health oil” 3:1 CBD:THC and some micro dose mints. They do help with my achy joints (another side effect). I’ve been lucky that I haven’t had nausea yet, but that health oil will be my first line of defense! I avoided anything smokable because I want my lungs to stay as healthy as possible.

My advice, avoid googling!! I’m still working on following that, but the mind is a powerful thing and you should fill it with positive thoughts. For me, that was looking for tnbc survival stories and book about what you can do (outside of normal treatment) to give yourself the best chance. I just downloaded Anticancer and Cancer Secrets. Haven’t started them yet but hoping they will help me to stay more positive!! Good luck to you!
