Got my TNBC result yesterday and joined this group today. Had a partial L breast masectomy and sentinel node biopsy (2 nodes removed) on 22/8 as had 9mm tumour (Grade 3)..Op results show clear margin...
Hi Janey
I have read several of your posts and just loved your poem which summed up my journey to where I am today. I probably won't have started chemo before I go to the LGFB workshop - just wanting to get in early. I probably won't go with the wig but silk scarves - am wondering whether to get eyebrows and eyeliner tattooed before chemo! Don't know why as I am a mascara and lippy type of person but I have to work and I'm really trying to keep this as normal as I can whilst dealiing with an abnormal situation. Also I'm now wondering whether I should consider a bi-lat masectomy given my TNBC status although haven't been BRCA tested and it hasn't even been suggested. Something to ask the surgeon next time we meet, me thinks. One day at a time as suffering information overload. Thanks for your reply and all the best to you.
