Hello @Annaspanna I was diagnosed with Stage 2a Grade 3 TNBC at the end of November 2017. Tumour was 19mm. Had lumpectomy and Sentinel node and one other was involved - 2 out of 3 taken. Went back to surgery a couple of weeks later for axillary clearance (22 nodes all up)and another two nodes had micro deposits. I ve recovered very well from both surgeries and started my treatment on 16th January. I’ve had three doses of AC chemo, three weekly,(one more of those left) and then have 12 weekly doses of Taxol followed by 30 doses of radiation, so still a way to go for me. It all is soo daunting at the beginning, but once you get treatment started you will be surprised at how quickly the weeks pass. Good luck with your next surgery and, as people constantly tell you, and it’s so true, “one day at a time” and you will get there.
