Highs and Lows ... WAVES of whacky emotions..

Hi there Lori. Last year in may I was diagnosed with stage 2a grade 3 (3cm tumor) left breast triple neg bc aged 43. All scans clear and no lymph nodes involved. I'm negative for the gene though. I had 4 rounds of AC chemo and 4 rounds of paclitaxol fortnightly for 16 weeks. I had a mastectomy left side so I didn't have to have rads as well as chemo and then took the right one off - my choice 6 months later. I've already had a hysterectomy prior to my bc diagnosis but saved my ovaries All of us on here all know what you're going through for sure. And yes you can have all the support in the world and I did and still have  but it always helps to talk to someone who's been through it too for sure. You are going to get all of those emotions you mentioned and some days are going to be better than others. I found once I'd had my surgery and had a treatment plan in place I felt better and knew what to expect. It's all very daunting at any age but particularly for you as you are so young. And please don't ever say you are selfish that's bullshit everything you are feeling is normal. There are so many options out there for you and you will be informed of those in due course but a lot of women on here have been able to have immediate reconstruction and been able to save a their eggs too. So don't despair you will get through this.  And please don't google!  Especially about triple neg. everyone one is different and every treatment is different and that's the worse place to look especially feeling like you are at the moment. And yes it sucks to go bald and it sucks to lose your boobs but at the end of it all you will have survived. And that my love takes strength courage and the biggest set of hairy balls you'll ever see. And believe me you will find them when you need them. Please stay in touch. Everyone on here has s story to tell all of which are inspiring and gives you hope. Rest assured you can vent anytime ask anything you like and say however you are feeling whenever you want and never get judged. Just loved and supported. Sending you a big virtual hug and feel free to message me anytime with any questions and I'll give you my number if you ever want to chat. Margie ❤️
