Kath I just replied to you on the comment you left me sorry I was having problems it uploading. 

Hi Kath. Glad you found this site. Know that I am only a phone call away. Many ladies here who will give valued support. Kath x

Hi Kath, So sorry to hear of your diagnosis.  I can't offer any information about triple negative breast cancer (I was E100%, P95%)  but just wanted to welcome you and wish you all the best with your treatment.  I know you will find a lot of support and advice from the amazing women who post here.  It is a wonderful environment to vent, question and laugh (yes, we do laugh sometimes! :)).  Take care, Jane x

Soldier Crab, thank you for introducing Kath to us. :)  Jane

Hi Kath,
So sorry you are feeling so anxious. All the ladies I know on here who had a triple negative diagnosis are doing well, several years down the track. The "good" things about triple negative are that it responds very well to chemo and very rarely recurs once you get to 5 years post diagnosis. At least one lady on here ( @mum2jj) has reached that magic 5 year milestone. I am sure you will hear from others who are doing well too ( @"Michelle R"). 
This is a wonderful network for support and information. It has helped us all to navigate this difficult time in our lives. Hope that you find lots of support and best wishes for your treatment. Take care.

Hi Kath,

I am a triple negative too, and as Deanne says it responds very well to chemotherapy. It's good that you were diagnosed so quickly, with no lymph involvement and a very small tumour.  It is now 4.5 years since I was in shock as you are, and the cycle of treatment began like a roller coaster.  Don't go to Dr Google - a lot of the information on TNBC is outdated - these days there is a lot of research going on and Australia is at the cutting edge. It is natural to feel afraid and I remember the sleepless nights well - but it gets better!  Just take one day at a time, appointment to appointment, and don't look too far ahead or you can get overwhelmed.  I had chemo and radiation but my lump was bigger at 3.5cm with no lymph involvement.  Do you have your My Journey kit yet?  You can order it here on the site and it is invaluable.  Come online whenever you need support.  We are here for you.  Big hug. x Michelle

thanks Michelle,

They keep wanting to give me ant tehretidepressants but I really dont want to go there.  Reassuring to know that there ares uccess stories out there

thanks ladies,

just soo flat and scared.  How do you get past that

Kath, meditation cd's can help you to relax, or there are plenty on youTube to download.  They help you to switch off and relax your mind.  Sounds too easy, but it works.  The Cancer Council has them also.  Might be worth trying, especially at night.  x  Michelle
