Hi Lou,
I really wanted to respond to you as there are a few similarities here between you and my Mum, who was diagnosed TNBC last year and underwent 18 chemo cycles followed by a mastectomy and 5 weeks radiotherapy. She is a 54 year old mother of four and also decided not to have a reconstrution. There is so much negative info out there - IGNORE IT and tackle it in a positive, life-giving way!!!
Mum really struggled when treatment stopped. There's all this planning and 'what's next' and then suddenly there is nothing! It can be frightening! It was at that point my mother decided to take matters into her own hands and really focused on her life style - she did a lot of research and has become a very health-concious eater (not extreme, but very dedicated) which helps her feel in control because she is contributing in a meaningful way to her health. She exercises (when she's not too tired from more recent radiotherapy!) and has become a really active participant in her health. She even joined a breast cancer choir in Newcastle!
