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 Leanne
Would love to catch up if able when you are in Adelaide in Nov. My treatment is being done at Flinders as I 'm about 1.5 hrs south of adelaide but as I work in the city Flinders is on my way home! I get surprised by each of our different treatments as I had a partial mascetomy not even suggested full mascetomy. I will be having 6 cycles of FEC followed by 6 wks of radiotherapy and hope to work when I can - although oncologist wants me to take 2 weeks off following 1st cycle. I will do what I can, when I can :) I am being referred for genetic counselling so if I go for testing more surgery may be required. For now am focussing on start of chemo on14/10 - am putting together a care pack for me based on tips from all the lovely ladies on this site. I'm going to the LGFB workshop this Tuesday where I hope to pick up so more tips.
Keep in touch as would really like to meet someone from Adelaide for catchup. All the best - Sandi (smead) xoxo
