Triple Negative breast cancer diagnosis

@Mkdazed, I understand how you feel it is a lot to process all at once,  I am also triple negative and it took me months to process.
I was diagnosed 4/12/2018 and started chemo on 20/12/2018.  When I started chemo I didn't know what type/stage/grade cancer I had. I think I was still in shock.  My head was still trying to process the words of my oncologist - it's agressive and quite big.
I arrived at chemo in a complete daze and they were fantastic at answering a million questions and helping me process stuff Itruly did not understand.
I don't think I would have managed as well without those lovely human beings or this forum.
I have just had my first annual scans (delayed for various reasons) and have got the all clear.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel and maybe you will cry a lot on the way but that's okay because in time you will laugh too :) 
 
Good luck with your treatment, we are all here for you. xx

Thank you all for your support, it is really appreciated.  I was actually diagnosed with breast cancer 2 weeks ago today and found out the day before my first Chemo that it was triple negative.
i have felt like it’s blow by blow. Having said that, first treatment down and I woke up this morning feeling positive. Will fight hard and look towards one day at a time. 

@Mkdazed welcome to the club nobody wants to join. It's not easy, but there are a lot of people here who understand. There's nothing else for it but taking one step at a time,  and keep on believing. 
All the best. 

A diagnosis one day and chemo the next is a huge shock and so hard to process. I am so sorry you are facing that - be comforted that a quick start means you are getting treated straight away and sometimes having no time to think about it can be a blessing. Today you feel like you will never be happy again but I promise you will be, and even during chemo you can feel normal many days and you will get on with life. 

Thank you Afraser,
The only thing I can do it take one day at a time, but right now its hard to see that I will ever feel happy or have a laugh again.  I know i'm feeling sorry for myself.  I have a great family and support, so need to buckle in for the ride.
Appreciate your support!

Dear @Mkdazed
Welcome to the network. We are sorry you have to be here but it’s a very good place for support and advice. Everyone feels much as you do at the beginning. In many cases, the diagnosis is a shock, and fear and profound confusion become your companions. Hard as it may be (and it is) shake them off as soon as you can as they are not the best friends you need at the moment. Chemo may be easier than you think but even if it’s tough, you are doing it for a purpose. Everything you do for a purpose - walking, eating good food even if you don’t feel like it, doing things you enjoy, being with people who make you laugh (yes, it is possible) - helps you defeat fear and focus on getting better. Just for the moment, think one day ahead. None of us actually knows what lies in our future, but when you are fearful and confused, it’s all too easy to imagine dire outcomes. Which may well never happen so don’t waste your energy on them. The world is pretty topsy turvy at the moment, all you can do is face each day with the intention of making the best of it. Each chemo session means one less to
go. Best wishes for tomorrow and for your recovery. The day oncology staff are there to help and inform you, as are so many people on this site.
