I agree that googling can get you in trouble with the fear factor...but there is always positive news with research and I admit I can't help but have a look every few days to see what's new. Staying positive is the key and I know it is really hard when you feel crap all the time but as you get through each part of treatment you come further out of the fog. I am on my last 7 radiation treatments after only completeing 2 chemo due to gut complications (diverticulitis and abcess). So far have managed to avoid total large bowel resection. I chose to have a lumpectomy, being as positive as I could...am yet to get tested for BRCA 1 due to family history and just take every day as it comes being as positive as I can. We will get through this and move on having learnt a lot more about TNBC, your own strength (we are strong as hell, us women) and that people around are so supportive and want to do what they can to help. The research is growing in leaps and bounds so hang in there, put aside you doubts and know that you will survive along with the thousands of others that have. Take care. Deb
