What is Basal-type Breast Cancer?

Hello Penni,

                       Let me start by saying  thankyou,i"ve just read your blog & finally i've found more information about  my diagnosis.I was diagnosed with trip neg basal type breast cancer in 2008.It happened so fast for me.   

             The cancer was found in my left breast.Due to the size of my tumour(9cm)i was told that i would have to have a mastectomy so i chose to have both breast removed.My lymph nodes were also removed(left side only).Chemo started in the Feb 2009.The type of chemo i had was FEC 100.Pretty strong dose but because of the size & type of cancer it was needed.I have written more about my journey in my profile which you are more than welcome to read.After chemo i than had radiotherapy.

           Each one of us heals,reacts & thinks differently & I realise that you are probably  half  way through chemo if that is what you opted for but i just  wanted you to know that there is someone else out there who has already gone though it & can maybe be there for you if you have any questions.

           It is now 2011 & all is going well for me & this i hope will be the same for you.Wishing you a bright & beautiful 2011.
