Heartbroken, but unbroken
We have just been hit with a TNBC diagnosis. My wife is 44 and we have two young kids. Our world's been turned upside down. There's so much raw emotion and the sense of grief that we all know all too...
Hello @strongtogether I too had a TNBC diagnosis and two out of three sentinel nodes had cancer in them. One was 5mm and the other 7mm. It was a terrible shock! I am much older than your wife but underwent a lumpectomy then an axillary clearance. At the end of August it will be 12 months since I finished active treatment which was 4 doses of AC and 12 doses of Taxol. I then had 30 doses of radiation. It is doable and you just take a day at a time. I feel so well and healthy now with minimal side effects and am constantly amazed at how my body recovered so quickly from the treatment. Wishing your wife strength and my very best wishes throughout her treatment.
