Hi Ladies,
I am new to the Triple Negative Group. I wish I had found it 18 months ago when I was first diagnosed as I didn't really know anyone who had been diagnosed with TNBC. I found one lovely ...
Hi Anabel,
It is so good to hear from someone who has been there! I will be starting treatment next week with 18 weekly chemos (Taxol and Carboplaten), then radiotherapy and a hysterectomy to do as much as possible. (I have already had bilateral surgery 2 weeks ago.)
Were you on similar chemo? There aren't many facts on TNBC and I am finding it a lonely road information-wise. My breastcare team is wonderful - cannot speak highly enough of them all - and we are going to an information session next Tuesday - so will definitely get some answers then.
Yesterday I had my portacath put in at the hospital, today blood tests for a starting point, and a lot of body/bone scans during the week.
Your message of 6 months of treatment has given me a goal time - if all this can be behind me in 6 months time it will be wonderful!
The women on this site are amazing - the positive and optimistic attitude is inspiring. It was great to read your post.
