I am so sorry to hear about your mum, and so glad you have found this site, which will be a big comfort to you both as the months pass.
Like your mum, I had TNBC in the left breast, stage 2, grade 3 - but no node involvement. I opted for a double mastectomy, followed by chemo and radiation - I just wanted to blitz the beast with everything available.

Just wanted your mum to know that if she decides on this option it is very do-able. I have never regretted the choice for one minute.
As Tonya said, the My Journey kit is a must-have, so do order one for your mum. It also helps to keep all her records and appointments straight. Whatever your decision, keep in touch and let us know how your mum is travelling. Big hugs to you both,
Michelle xx
