Hi there @Imo I had triple neg last year aged 43. My kids are older one now 19 and one 21. I had a 3cm tumor left boob grade 3 stage 2a no lymph nodes involved all scans clear. I had dose dense chemo 4 rounds of AC and 4 rounds of paclitaxol all two weeks apart. I finished chemo oct last year. It’s always daunting at the start the feelings you have are normal lovely and rest assured you will have other ladies with small children who will give you endless advice and support. I had the gene test as I was under 50 with no family history and was negative for that. I also chose to take my left boob off so I only had to have chemo and no rads. Then took the right boob off 6 months later as a preventative and my guts told me too despite my surgeon saying it wasn’t necessary but he respected my choice anyway. And I have no regrets with my decision just have the frustratingly long wait for my recon now. Hang in there you will get there and we will all be there to hold your hand n doubts about that.
