Hi Loobylou,
I also was diagnosed with a triple negative breast cancer back in October last year.
I have been going through the public system and haven’t got a bad word to say about the system.
The Care is no different, it doesn’t hit your hip pocket either.
I had one of the best surgeons and breast cancer nurses, they were all so wonderful.
Ask the breast care nurses at your surgeons rooms to put you in touch with a breast care nurse close to you, they can also recommend you to a Psychologist to help you get through this roller coaster ride of emotional feelings you will have.
I enrolled into a mindfulness and meditation class which helped me a lot with my anxiety levels.
I had surgery in December and had a partial mastectomy on my left breast and two lymph nodes removed, all with clear margins and clear lymph nodes. Best outcome ever, so hold onto that hope.
Just started Chemotherapy, and then once completed will be having Radiotherapy.
My tumour once removed was 25mm in size, and a grade 3, ( aggressive).
You will be going through so many different emotions at the moment, cry let it all out, scream, what ever you need to do to let it all out.
Having trouble sleeping see your dr and get something to help you sleep.
I remember so well how I couldn’t sleep at night in the early stages, once I got a script from my dr, I was able to sleep which meant I could function better and cope with what I was going through.
Ask away any questions you may have and any of these lovely people will help you through this tough time.
Remember you’re not alone.... We all know what you’re going through and how you’re feeling.
Thus a great forum full of information.
Sending big hugs xoxo
