Hi Sheree,
This is my first post, and before I found this page I had been reading your older posts and was going to try to contact you, your well wishes for other women and spirit to help were very touching. I wish you all the best for your next stage of treatment.
I was diagnosed with bc on 22/10/12, as tnbc on 11/11/12, have had lumpectomy (3cm lump) with lymph nodes clear, start chemo on 3rd dec, with a mix of Fec T for 6 tri weekly rounds and then 6 weeks of radio. i have been feeling super positive and really lucky about my situation, feeling like I've almost beaten this before I've even begun (delusional??) but tonight is the first night I've really realised what the implications of having tnbc may be, but also being 37 with a 3yo dau and 6yo son (no family history) I will continue to keep to keep my chin up and hope you can too.
I find it a bit crazy but I am completely at calm with needing chemo and radiotherapy, what bothers me most is the unknown future.
To anyone else reading this also, are "we" (tnbc women) bound to have recurrence issues, does anyone know a tnbc woman who after a number of years has not had recurrence? I certainly don't wish to send out negative vibes, I am just trying to wrap my head around my situation.
Thanks for listening.
