TNBC

Hi again,

Does anyone know if they ever do only lumpectomy for TNBC. I am stage 2.  and I do not appear to have any infiltration into lymph nodes. Would they ever consider just doing a lumpectomy and watching me?? 

Hi TannieT​ ,

Just reaching out as I saw your request for our choosing breast reconstruction group.  (check your messages there is one there in regards to that).  Also I have just shared a post in the general discussion about my survivorship.  My first triple negative diagnosis was 16 years ago. I have tagged you in the post but will share a link here.  It can be a tough road but there are many ladies on this site who have been diagnosed with triple neg. 

 Sending you a big hug.

HiTannieT​ i have been diagnosed with TNBC. I was sort of perimenopausal before diagnosis but now have chemically induced menopause thanks to chemo. I too felt alone after diagnosis, are you at the start of your journey? This place is great for community and support so you’re in the right place. 
I’m here if you want to chat or vent or ask any questions 😊 Also check out @iamkellythomas on Instagram if you’re on socials. She was diagnosed with TNBC years ago and has created a community of TNBC thrivers with great podcasts and stories of survivorship as she too felt alone after her diagnosis. Following her story gave me lots of hope ♥️😊

TannieT​ Thankyou for starting the conversation. You are right that TNBC is a little less common, however we have a strong community of people with this diagnosis who you can connect with. If you haven't already we encourage yo to join the TNBC private group!
