New to all this - TNBC
Hi Ladies,
This is my very first post, so hoping it works..lol
I'm quite scared and still trying to get my head around being diagnosed with Stage2b, grade3 TN. I was diagnosed New Years eve, so 2015...

Hi Nay,
I'm new to all this too...was only diagnosed 2 weekes ago with TNBC 8cm IDC Grade 3. I've had a whirlwind of appointments, tests, scans, core biopsies, and a range of emotions and in the past 2 days another ultrasound with a clip inserted and today a procedure for a infusaport so I can start my chemo on Tuesday!
I as much research as the time allowed me and had 2 opinions about treatment along as shared it all with my GP (who is just amazing). I have opted for what I feel suits my cancer journey! I am having neo adjuvent therapy which is chemo first and then regardless of the tumors size I have chosen to have a double bilateral mastectomy although my surgeon is leaving that up to me for when that time comes, but I must have a full node clearance on the left where the tumor is.
I am very scared about what is coming my way with the chemo by from what I have heard some people do okay with it...will find out Tuesday and will keep you posted how I go! Feel free to message me anytime or blog how you are going! We are all in this together in a weird way and without this site I dont know what I would be doing right now as I find comfort in just getting things out or asking questions etc.
Take care now and all the best for the surgery!
