Hi RosaPink.
sorry to see you here, but you have come to the right place.
I have also been diagnosed with TNBC in October 2018.
Had a partial mastectomy and two sentinel nodes removed in December clear margins and nodes, tumour was 2.5 cms Grade 3.
Commenced dose dense A/C every fortnight for 8 weeks in February of this year, currently on week 8 of 12 Pactlitaxel
I wanted to throw everything at this nasty disease and leave no stone un turned as I wanted no regrets down the track. Yes those nasty cells can escape as I found out personally even after
the all clear. After an unplanned CT scan when admitted into hospital they noticed a swollen lymph node under my left armpit, which after investigation they found some cancer cells, fortunately some had already died from the chemotherapy.
So my treatment of chemotherapy hasn’t changed, once I have finished the round of Pactlitaxel I will then be having more surgery for a full, auxiliary clearance. Once healed my next step is Radiotherapy.
No one can make your mind up what you should or shouldn’t do.
I didn’t even think for one second that I wouldn’t have chemo or Radiotherapy, as I didn’t want any regrets .
This is a horrible disease, but WE CAN BEAT THIS. There are quite a few people here that are 7 years cancer free from TNBC.
If you ever want to talk more I’m happy to send you a private message.
Sending cyber hugs 😘
