I am so glad you have found us on the site and made contact.
Like you, I have recently finished chemo and rads for TNBC, and also had a bi-lateral mastectomy last year with no re-construction. I just felt that my body had been through enough and wanted to concentrate on healing. It was a personal decision.
My Oncologist said to "live my life" and enjoy it, and stay as healthy as possible - so I have changed my routine fair bit. Although we always ate a lot of vegetables, we have even more now, and only have red meat once a week (if that.) Lots of fish, an occasional glass of wine, and as much exercise as possible - morning walks, afternoon gym - and some meditation to visualise being cured. It all takes time, and has to be scheduled as important. Trying to lessen the odds of recurrence is a major part of life now, and I fit it into my social life as a priority.
I will send you a Contact request, so we can stay in touch. Feel free to ask anything you want and I will try to be of some help.
Sending you a big hug,
Michelle
