So very scared

I do understand your fear - but as Sue says, there are a lot of positive stories on the TNBC site, and it is much better to read them than the statistics. (TNBC is relatively new, so there aren't many statistics to be had at the moment anyway!)

I also had TNBC and was diagnosed exactly a year ago this Easter. I had surgery, 12 weeks of chemo, and 28 zaps of radiotherapy. Maybe you could ask your surgeon if a portacath would be a good move for you? Then the chemo nurses can access your vein painlessly to give you your chemo - it depends on your veins, but a port is so easy. It was the best thing, so if they offer it to you, don't be afraid to take it.

Just take each day as it comes, and don't look too far ahead - the time will pass faster than you think. Keeping a journal can be a big help, and it helps to keep track of your appointments, side effects, questions, pill timetables, etc.

When we first go into the treatment tunnel, it is dark and scary - but every week you are closer to the end of treatment and life is brighter again. Hang in there, Michelle - you are stronger than you think and you will get through this - just take it one day at a time.

Big hugs - let us know how you are going -
