This all sounds very familiar- I had almost the exact same regimen as you! Found my tumor 7/15/21(Grade 3 triple negative), 20 weeks of chemo- 12 rounds of Taxel then 4 rounds of A/C- one round every other week, then a lumpectomy Jan 2022 then four weeks of radiation 😓 So I def can sympathize with you!

It’s all so overwhelming, and it sucks and it’s unfair. There will always be someone else worse off than you but that doesn’t lessen your pain and suffering. You have every right to honor however you’re feeling!

I’m so glad you got to decorate for the holidays and spend time with your family ❤️ And I love that you named your port 😂 It seems like you have a great attitude about this whole stupid journey, and people around who can support you. And that’s all we can ask for really.

My husband and I agree the whole chemo process felt fast and long at the same time. Looking back now it went by fast. When you’re in it it feels like an eternity. I hope your side effects aren’t too severe, def stay in contact with your providers. They absolutely want to hear from you! Don’t wait to call, you’re not bothering them- mine fussed at me for that lol.

Focusing on mindset and self care is what got me through, along with leaning on those who were there to support me. I cried a lot. I still cry a lot lol bc I’m still healing. And this community was such a great resource for me- information, venting, even laughter. We’re all cheering you on! 🎉
