I'm feeling very isolated as a TNBC in my area.
To my knowledge there is one other (a recent diagnosis who is now going head long into intensive treatment).
I have physically met three survivors...

I was diagnosed 1/8/13 TNBC 5 days B4 my 53 birthday and 1 week after my newest granddaughter's birth. Regardless of TNBC diagnosis I'm still convinced my cancer was caused by extreme stress. Had lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy - 9mm tumour with clear margins and 0 nodes and on 14/10 start 6 cycles over 18week chemo cycle followed by radiotherapy, somewhere in all this I have a confirmed trip to the UK - I aim to be on the plane. I live in Adelaide but haven't met any other TNBCs yet although 15-20% of all BC is TNBC. Research is going on all the time - knock Dr Google on the head as there is a lot of old info on the net and stick with trusted websites and ask lots of questions of your care team. Don't forget TBNC has 80% + survival rates. Take each day as it comes, there will be high and low days and be kind to yourself. Happy for you to email me as one TNBC newbie to another :)
