New to TNBC

Hi Everyone, Just a quick hi to everyone and to introduce myself.  I am 34 and I was recently diagnosed with TNBC.  I have had a lumpectomy and I am about to start 6 months of chemo.  I finished an ivf cycle but unfortunately it wasn't successful.  I am lucky to already have a little man who is about to turn 3 but I wanted to keep my options open for when I complete my treatment.  I will be using Zoladex during my treatment with the aim to look after my eggs.  No guarantee but I am willing to give anything a go :)  It is wonderful to have you all to go through this with.

Cheers, Sarah

    I was in the same situation as yourself last year. Diagnosed with TNBC a few weeks before my 30th birthday. Tried IVF too but was unsuccessful. Had the zoladex implant in my tummy before chemo. My periods stopped completely during chemo but returned 3 months after I finished chemo. Hope your travelling well., take comfort in the fact your not alone, although it may feel like it sometimes. Take care. Gillian xxx

    Thanks GIlliann.  You don't realise how many people are actually going through or been through the same thing until it happens to you.  I hope you are going well xx
