Hi Ladies,
My name is Sam, I'm 40 & I was diagnosed 21/5 with provisional stage 2-3 bc, triple negative. I have 2 kids, Josh 14 & Jade 6 and am married to a the best guy in town! I had surgery on Thursday to remove the cancer from my left breast & to my delight, only 2 lymph nodes were taken for testing as they looked clear to the pathologist while I was OK'd.
Now, I won't be seeing my surgeon again until Friday 31/5 to get the complete rundown on my situation, but I'm feeling really postive.....well, I was until I started looking at what Triple Negative actually meant. Starting to feel a little more scared now.
I do know I have chemo for 3-4 months, then 6 weeks of radiation ahead.
Is there anything that you can share with me that I may need to know or should be asking my surgeon on Friday?
Thanks in advance, Sam :)
