Sorry to see you join our group too @Vic0002 .... I hope the rest of your treatment goes well. xx
Very interesting that you also have the mix of + and - ...... here is the link to join the TNBC private group - your request probably won't be 'activated' til Mon tho.
https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/group/30-triple-negative-breast-cancer-tnbc
Please check out the link in my post, about the forum in 'general' .... and if you feel yourself getting very sad or overly worried, give our helpline a call on 1800 50 258 for a chat, Mon-Fri. Just talking with someone who KNOWS all the ins & outs, will help.
Also, consider listening to Charlotte Tottman's Podcasts - she is a BC psychologist who was diagnosed in 2018 and had a double mastectomy & stayed flat. She was surprised that the diagnosis hit her as hard as it did, as she'd been counseling women for YEARS on helping THEM get over the shock ... This disease actually mucks more with your BRAIN than your body, I reckon! So she really 'gets it', more than any others (who haven't experienced it themselves.) Below is her story in PDF form. And the podcast link is here:

Make sure you Click on 'view 22 tracks' and start with No 13 (which is the first episode of Series One - weird that they've put Series 2 'first'!) They are really good as she talks more as a BC survivor, not a Psychologist - and they are very easy to listen to!
