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 Don't go to Dr Google - a lot of the information on TNBC is outdated - these days there is a lot of research going on and Australia is at the cutting edge.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
