Day 14 after first chemo: feeling HUMAN!!! I got to go out with family last night, and went with them to the pool. It certainly put me down for nap afterwards, I climbed in and out of the pool a few times, people were very kind to get off the stairs when I needed them. It's very beautiful here in Southern Utah, Veyo Pool: Veyo Utah:

Hi all, I am diagnosed with TNBC, one month after my 34 birthday. I see so many amazing women here are going through the same thing. I don't think I am mentally strong. But I'll try to be brave.

I'm sorry to see new faces, Always! Bravery and mental strength, Ewu, for me came after treatments. No fluff about it, I was not ready, but then I came here. I could gently get things off my mind, and everyone here listens, even if we don't post often. I post in Ladies in their 30's also-

WE ARE TOUGH STUFF LADIES! I love you all!!

Hi All.

I was diagnosed Friday, January 13th of this year at 35. I celebrated my 36th birthday still in treatment--went to my regularly scheduled rads appt and everything. I actually found the lump at (late) 34, but was told after an ultrasound that it was a fibroadenoma. Four months later it was stage III breast cancer.

I'm married (our 10th wedding anniversary was in Sept), and mother of 1 (12). I haven't been working during treatment which has been a blessing amongst all this chaos--most of the time. I do miss the social aspect, but, I couldn't have done the commute and the hours during much of chemo or radiation.

I am currently having a difficult time deciding whether to move forward with hormone therapy--specifically ovarian suppression (Lupron) & an aromatase inhibitor (Aromasin). I was 5% ER+ and that was the extent of my hormone receptor involvement. The possible side effects of AI & OS are severe & common enough to warrant careful consideration for me. I don't know if it's normal or batsh*t crazy of me not to just take everything my oncologist offers for my treatment plan. But even he seems somewhat ambivalent about whether I end up staying on them if side effects do become extreme. Weighing this decision has been kind of all-consuming this week. To take my mind off of that for just a bit today I went to the de Young Museum in SF (Maori Portraits, Revelations: Art of The African-American South, Ancient Art of Teotihuacan, and incredible installations & ongoing exhibits). The weather was sunny, clear, and cool. The 360 view of SF from Hamon Tower on a day like today was unbelievably beautiful. It's been a long time since I got out and did something a little more stimulating than just going to appts or running errands! It was just what the dr ordered, but I'm so beat! Still, I had to come peruse the boards before bed. Enough of that

Night, All.

Question for the group- am I the only one who gets angry when I see so many young women having to go through this? I am actually fine with me having cancer (sounds strange to say that), but then I come to boards like this, and see other women with babies and children and a long way from doing all they want to do. It's to the point where I think I should avoid other young survivors because it makes me mad!

Hi I have Lyme disease as well and just got a BC diagnosis.

How did you find the chemo? Was it tougher do you think?
