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 margins and nodes. Still on leave from work but will be returning shortly. Meeting with oncologist shortly to discuss chemo so having bone density test on Thursay. Have also signed up for LGFB workshop. Not sure where to next so any advice for this Adelaide based lady would be really appreciated.

Welcome smead - altho sorry for your breast cancer diagnose. I also had clear margins and nodes but due to BRAC1 gene had a bi-lateral mastecomy and start of re-consruction with tissue expanders. Also grade 3 and stage 1.My tumour was 18mm and finished my chemo May 1st. I'm now waiting 2 months to have my implants put in. The LGFG workshop was a lovely experience and lots of great free products - I hope you enjoy your day. Do you have the My Journey Kit ? I found mine invaulable. Your oncologist should help you plan your next steps. What hospital are you attending - I was RAH and had no problems. All the best with the chemo and one tip I can give is have Ice before and during treatment to help with mouth sores. Leanne Xx
