Hi Annaspanna
Sorry you had to join the forum but all the ladies on here are brilliant! I am also in Adelaide and was diagnosed with TNBC stage 2B grade 3 in April 2017. My "journey" is a bit different from yours. I had Neoadjuvant Chemo as "Boris" ( that's what I called the lump) was between 3-4 cm and had spread to the lymphs. My chemo was given dose dense A/C ( given every 2 weeks) Then 12 weeks pacletaxel with the added bonus! of carboplaitin chucked in every 3 weeks form week 4 of the weekly dose. Then surgery wide local excision and aux clearance, then Rads for 6 weeks. The past year has been a whirlwind but like others have said you will get through it, it's just such a shock to start with. If you ever feel like talking please feel free to PM me.
Take care and big virtual hugs X <3 :)
