Triple Negative BC
Hi All.
Anyone else out there with a triple negative BC diagnosis? I have started a group for anyone interested in joining and sharing their stories?
Hope to hear from you soon, xo Christie.
HI Christie, Wow...that is one quick way to lose your hair there one second and gone the next :-0 I think I shall have a wee cry about mine too as it is very thick and just how I've wanted it for ages and then I get diagnosed. I'm having the genetic testing done because my mum was diagnosed at age 52 with BC and unfortunately had spread throughout her body she made it until I was pregnant with my twins and past away peacefully with all of us there with her at 57. She was the 1st one that we knew of with it but last night I recieved a phone call from my other aunt to tell me that my mums sister was diagnosed 3 years ago now with BC "close family ties hey" :-D. I want to give my 6 kids a chance to be tested should it come back positive which I think It just might, anyway I'll find out soon enough! Now my treatment.......I am have 4 rounds of TC and then 6 weeks of radiation for 5 days of each of those weeks and hopefully thats it. I was pleased to find out that Taxatere is a natural form of treatment as well its from the Pacific Yew Bark tree which kind of made me relax abit more knowing that it wasn't something synthetic. I know It must sound odd me saying that but I just found it a little more comforting know they were poisioning me with a natural product! haha....So i'm day 7 after chemo today so I have a few more days with my thick hair and as soon as I see it's starting to thin I shall wiz it all off! I'm feeling quite ok and I hope that round 2 on the 25th of August goes just as smoothly....I'm willing it to :-) Anyway Stay positive and calm,
With brightest blessings Susan xxx
