I'm new too and also tnbc - I haven't got official staging yet I think I get that tomorow, but I started ac chemo just last Thursday :( its rough isn't it- you barely have time emotionally realise what has happened and then they through you in for all these tests to see if it's spread and then you have to wait for results - that was almost as bad as the initial diagnosis !

Thanks everyone for your advice so far :)
