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 know that there are more out there but I find women with hormonal breast cancer have no concept of TNBC. Looking forward to connecting with others........... I was diagnosed grade 3 stage 3.

Hi my name is Jane and I have the same diagnosis as you stage 3 and grade 3. I have had a mastectomy am just about to finish chemo and start radiation. I am living in Sydney at the moment But am usually from Byron Bay...though I have been in Vietnam for 5 years. I know how scary it is.....and have had people say when I say breast cancer - "oh well your going to be fine then aren't you?" Would love a chat sometime. Jane

Unfortunately isolation can be a reality for many! Where are you from? I'm from Tamworth and understand completely the way you are feeling. I also was diagnosed Stage 3 12 months ago, so have finished all treatment options. Hang in there it will get easier. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Lou

I have lived 1000kms from treatment so no the isolation well and yes triple negative for the last 3 years I have been fighting and now unfortunately secondary diagnosis at age 38. I too come across more hormonal ladies then not! But I guess trip neg is the minority

Hi, my name is Jacky and I was diagnosed with TNBC (Stage 2, Grade 3) 1st May this year. I'm half way through chemo after a lumpectomy, with radiation to follow. Wouldn't it be great if all TNBC patients were concentrated in one area?! Anyone around Albury-Wodonga? I feel pretty lucky that all treatment is available locally, cannot imagine how much harder it would be if you have to add a lot of travelling or being away from home like some of you describe.6 years ago my husband and I moved to Australia, from the Netherlands, and since we never got kids it's just him and me, no extended family. He's great, and we have friends around that are there for us too... although it's not the same as family.Dear Foxs Lady; we might not live close, but we are here! Only a couple of clicks away!
