Hi Annie
Mine was also triple negative with no lymph node involvement. They must have cut under your armpit to remove the centinal node. Did the doctors do pathalogy close to the surface of the area taken out and did they find cancer cells near the surface ? If they did you will need to go back and take more out. Luckily for me this was not the case. What is too small to be detected will be killed by radiation and chemo. Will you have chemo first and radition after?I had mine the other way around. I was lucky enough to work through the whole thing. I had TC protocol with chemo every 3 weeks for 4 sessions. Well to be honest it was tomorrow last year I started my frist chemo.
Expect to feel tired and achey. I would advise to get a short haircut . It is easier to deal with the hair loss when it is short. I had hair down to the middle of my back and it was difficult when it started to fall oout with everything knotted together.
I hope you have a relatively pain free chemo. Having a beautiful daughter will help you have a positive outlook.
Best wishes
