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...

Hmm, reading all the comments I feel stress as a precursos seems to become a common theme, also in my case. Or; is life often so stressful that it's almost unavoidable to have a stressful period prior to a diagnosis like this?
Apart from not meeting many TNBC patients, I also see that often I'm one of the younger ones at every treatment (even at 48!); the majority of oncology patients seem to be well in or over their 60. I must be a very bad person; I'm a bit jealous of anyone having had so many more years without this worry. I do realise though that I'm also lucky it hasn't struck much earlier.
3 years of stress after immigrating to Australia (and then getting Immigration to play havoc, being stuck in a job where bullying was part of the deal, and my husband having to re-sit all his medical exams 25yrs after he graduated) we were just starting to get ourselves sorted, and enjoying ourselves.
At the moment it feels like chemo is all I've ever done, and will be all I ever do from now on. The end of the tunnel is somewhere, but I can't see it at the moment. And it only leads to radiation... but at least that's only 6 weeks.
Sorry, am a bit sad at the moment.
