hi there I was diagnosed the tnbc may 2016 L breast mastectomy done instead of the optional lumpectomy and radiation (my choice) 8 lymph nodes taken and were all clear and all scans clear also. I finished chemo 7 weeks ago. I had 4 rounds of AC and 4 of taxol fortnightly for 16 weeks. I decided to remove the other boob also - having that done tomorrow actually - again my choice. Still have some residual mild numbness in my toes and finger tips and some mild joint pain in my fingers but otherwise I'm doing really well. So far so good, I take each day as it comes and am looking forward to going back to work in the new year. Had the genetic test done a few weeks ago still waiting for results have no family history but because I'm under 50 and had tnbc I got to have it done. Happy to chat to others who have gone through the same :)
