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...
Hi, I was diagnosed TN in May 2007, grade 3 stage 3, had lumpectomy, a wider excision then full mastectomy followed by chemo and radiation along with complementary therapies. I had to travel away and stay for the duration of radiotherapy. I've passed the magical 5 year milestone and try to remain positive but the reality is I still feel I live with uncertainty. I've had 2 reconstructions. I've also had genetic testing and don't have either of the known genes. I also agree that stress is a major contributing factor. I'm now 3/4 way through a Bachelor of Naturopathy so hope to help other people as well as myself to live healthy and well. I'm coordinator of my local BC Support Group. I'm happy to chat about my experience over these last 6 years. All the best x
