9 years clear after second triple negative diagnosis.

Hello lovely ladies. 
I don’t get onto this main forum very often as my time is taken up with the choosing breast reconstruction group. I just wanted to share my good news today after my check up with my breast surgeon today. I am now 9 years clear from a second triple negative diagnosis (10 1/2 from 1st diagnosis.) Such a great feeling and I really just wanted to let those of you newly diagnosed know that there is hope. I am truly grateful for where I am today and my heart as always goes out to those who aren’t as lucky as I am. Here is my happy thumbs up shot that I took after my appointment. Much love and cyber hugs to you all.

    Hang in there @Tasia and you are right it is a shitfest. Take what comfort and support you  can from here. Connecting with others who have been where you are can help. Keep adding to the mantras. 
    Hugs

    @Tasia,
    You are very welcome and it is to give ladies like you hope that I post. I had two mantras when I was early diagnosed and going through treatment “one day at a time and one foot in front of the other “ and “This to shall pass”. I wish you all the best.

    Dear Paula,
    Your words amplify ‘hope’ as many of the other wonderful people have also shared in my short time here. I’m in a whirlwind at present, trying to digest, process, make sense of me, this current invasion, how to manage the maze, not lose myself entirely ( my borrowed word - in the shitfest).
    my mantra list is growing and I draw on whatever I need hourly, daily.
    my deepest thanks to you xx

    @mum2jj she is not a member.
    She has her contacts and resources - another one of those mysteries that I am not privy to! That's alright with me. She has a great surgeon and a highly rated PS   so I will leave that bit to her!

    @strongtogether That is such great news. So happy for you and your wife. I remember well how traumatized you were this time last year, and like that it’s another year. Is your wife a member? If so she could join our choosing breast reconstruction group? We don’t allow partners or loved ones to join as there is sharing of very personal images etc. However reclaim your curves has lots of great information. Check it out. www.reclaimyourcurves.org.au
    really happy for you. 
    Paula :)
