Hi there,
Im a 32 yo women, married with a beautiful one year old and have just been diagnosed with stage11A triple negative breast cancer. I will start chemo in a week and I feel like I'm really...
Hi Mel,
Firstly BIG HUGS being sent your way! It certainly is a hard and confusing time and some days you wonder, why me! But I want you to know there is wonderful support out there, and the most amazing women!I was diagnosed 4yrs ago this Oct at age 31 and I was triple negative as well, this will certainly be a chapter in your life which you never thought would be and from my own personal experience I hope you have a support group where you live to become apart of.I found just being able to talk, share and just have coffee and gossip with women who have been and are going through the BC journey so valuable.
The next best thing is the BCNA site, I wish when I was going through treatment the blogs had been here for those nights when you just cant sleep because the minds racing.The BCNA team are wonderful, Ive been lucky enough to become a liaison and spend time with some of them at the young womens conference last year, they make you feel like your part of their extended family.Then there are the women who are sharing their personal stories like you who are recently diagnosed as well as the survivors who want to help support you. I now often stop and think how crazy it is that something as terrible as cancer has led me to meeting so many amazing ladies and now great friends.
Hang in there Mel, If I can help you in anyway let me know
Take Care Nicky xx
