Newly Diagnosed
Hi all,
I just wanted to speak with anyone that has a similar diagnosis to me..I was diagonosed with Stage two Grade three triple negative Breast cancer in September of this year. I'm having my 3rd...
Hi Vanessa,
I was 42 when diagnosed 12/10/2010 with grade 3 invasive DC which was triple negative. My treatment was similar to yours surgery (wide local excision) 4 x AC then 12 x paclitaxel then 6 weeks radio therapy. I had the genetic testing which came back inconclusive.
I agree the triple negative pathology is scarey but I take hope in the fact that there are many women who go on to live long healthy lives. I forget the exact statistics but its either after 3 or 5 years I think our odds are better than others.
Feel free to ask any questions. Good Luck with the rest of your treatment. The paclitaxel I found much easier than the AC and the radio is a breeze compared to the chemo as long as you keep your sorbolene slathered on haha..
