Hi there tripple qld. I got diagnosed with triple neg may last year. 3 cm tumor no lymph node involvement and scans all clear had a mastectomy and chemo by choice as didn't want lumpectomy rad and chemo. Had 8 rounds of chemo 4 AC and 4 paclitaxol. Had other boob off in nov as a preventative again my choice. Not interested in having reconstruction as I don't want more surgery but that's my choice. Prognosis is good for me too my oncologist said triple neg responds really well to chemo so rest assured yoI'll be good too. I'm 44 and have older kids but don't think you can't have a family. Lots of women do it with a breast cancer diagnosis. Had the genetic test too as I'm under 50 with no family history. I'm Negative for that. The other good thing about triple neg is no tamoxifen etc after to take as it's not hormone receptive. Stay positive take care of yourself make sure you eat well and stay hydrated you don't want any delays with surgery or treatment because your crook. I agree with the other girls don't google it!! Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to chat. This forum gives you lots of advice and support too. Margie
