New diagnosis - Jen029
I was diagnosed on 1st November, had surgery last week and have just been to the surgeon today for pathology results. Triple negative and ki67 of 80%, fortunately lymph nodes are clear as are CT and bone scans. Will be needing chemo and radiation therapy. It has been a very overwhelming couple of weeks. Will be trying to get back to work at some stage soon and would love to hear from anyone else who is working whilst having treatment.

- Thanks for all the kind comments, it is good to see the light at the end of the tunnel😀💕
- Yay! You got through it!
- I have loved reading this all, the support on this page is absolutely beautiful. @Jen029 congrats on your last chemo, I have just had my second one on Wednesday and I am starting to hit the bad week coming up but if it was like round one I’ll be okay. Good luck with your radiation 👍🏼
- Fabulous and well done! Make sure you do something to celebrate once you're feeling up to it @Jen029. It's so important you spoil yourself at this time and before you start radiation. Xxx
- Well done!! True warrior xx
- Well done! TC is tough. Good on you. K xox
- Well done, you .... rest up, drink heaps of water, and rads should be much easier xxxx
- Yay pat yourself on the back. Just these days to get through and you got it. xox
- woo hoo Last chemo done .... yep get through the next few days and then recoup ready for Rads.... it is no where near as harsh as chemo...
- Last chemo today, just a few days of nausea and fatigue to get through then things should be improving. If it is much the same as the last treatment it shouldn’t be too hard to get through the next few days. I had the cold cap which has worked well, my hair has thinned out but has survived. Even had the nurses at the hospital tell me that I have kept more hair than most do on the TC chemo which was very encouraging. Radiation starts in early March, so the finish line is in sight. 😀
