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 am glad you weren't offended. I have been told I have 12-15mths to live so my prognosis isn't great... But I am a Taurean and don't give in too easily. I have to fight tooth and nail for these kids they are my world!
As for the side affects for tamoxifen etc... Being round I get all of these side affects in full swing. I did get my period back first diagnosis but as soon as I hit this disgnosis I have struggled to get one period and the hot flushes are so intense. I think I have gone into full swing menopause and they say when it is forced when you are young like this it is very intense. And I am doubtful I will ever get them back this this time with ongoing treatment like this. I have just had my 21st chemo today.... And weekly is so so itense I have been in hospital so much since April so instead of 3 Fridays on, and 1 off a month I have now been changed to 2 Fridays on And 1 off and start Again with 2 Fridays on And one frlday off Again. His aim is to balAnce a better quality of life for me as time goes on as I am so sick from chemo and have had offer life threatening challengesimd a significant blood clot in left arm plus extemely low platelets causing Lots is bruising down my legs and most recently cellulitis in my Lynphaedema and was so close to going to septicaemia a bad blood infection. Some days I cask like a walking time bomb. Ok need to stop winginbb n
