Newly Diagnosed

Hi there @CARULO sorry to hear you’ve had to join us on this forum it’s a shitty thing to get your head around but everyone on here has a story to tell and believe me we have all been where you are now. I was diagnosed may last year with triple negative bc. Grade 3 stage 2a No lymph nodes involved and scans all clear. I had the option to keep my left boob and have chemo and radiation but took it off so I only had to have chemo (8 rounds). Then I took the other one off a preventative. Waiting now for my recon which in qld on the public list will be at least another 2 years away. I would trust the team around you they don’t take mastectomy’s lightly and if that’s what they recommend then that’s what I’d be going with. I don’t regret it at all and you might be able to get an immediate recon and do you have your treatment plan yet .? WhAt has the surgeon told you you’re options are? If you have them both off what will your treatment be ? What did your scans say? To get all your questions answered on the forum the more info you tell us the better. And if you still want a second opinion the ladies from Sydney will for sure be able to recommend someone or give you an opinion on the one you’ve seen already. Rest assured you are not alone and there are many bc survivors on here with small children who can give you heaps of valuable advice. Hope this helps please stay in touch it can be a tough journey but it’s doable xx
