New diagnosis - Jen029
I was diagnosed on 1st November, had surgery last week and have just been to the surgeon today for pathology results. Triple negative and ki67 of 80%, fortunately lymph nodes are clear as are CT and bone scans. Will be needing chemo and radiation therapy. It has been a very overwhelming couple of weeks. Will be trying to get back to work at some stage soon and would love to hear from anyone else who is working whilst having treatment.

- Well done, @Jen029 ...... just rest up - and remember sleep is your friend! Stay inside & stay cool.
I hope the nausea passes quickly. Were you given anti nausea tablets? You'll work out a pattern when you need to take them .. (My husband had some during his chemo - then on about day 3-4, he would just put himself to bed for 2-3 days til he felt better ...)
All the best - don't forget to drink plenty of water to help flush it out too xx - I had the 1st day of chemo on Wednesday, haven’t felt too bad until now. Just feeling the nausea a bit today, it is very hot here today so I will just be taking it easy and hopefully things will settle down.
- Look after yourself. Your sister is getting what she needs.
- So sorry to hear about your sister, at least she is in the right place to get the help she needs.
I agree with primek, you need to concentrate on yourself at the moment and get the treatment you need.
Life is always throwing curve balls , you need to put yourself first at this time of your life.
Your sister is in good hands.
sending cyber hugs ❤️ - Oh tbats not good about your sister. I kniw this sounds selfish but you do need to just focus on you and trust she is safe and receiving appropriate care. Hope things go well with chemo.
- So sorry to hear that, @Jen029 - hoping your sister gets the treatment she needs and that you continue recuperating well
Take care xxxx - I'm so sorry @Jen029. It's a very difficult time for you. Look afte yourself and try to do some stress busting activities. Big hug, K xox
- Just to add a new level to everything that has been happening, my sister has been hospitalised with some mental health issues. No visitors allowed including immediate family. This has come out of nowhere and with chemo starting on Wednesday has raised the stress levels another notch. This is not how I had seen the year ending.
- Anytime you want to talk just message me. It’s a journey we can all take together
- Everything is moving along, I had an appointment with the radiation oncologist early in the week and will see the medical oncologist on Monday so will have more of an idea on treatment after that. I have been back at work this week trying to catch up with everything and help prepare them for me not being there full time, it is a quite a small business and I have been the only one doing most of the office work. @Shellshocked2018_thanks for your cyber hugs and I am sending some your way too.
