Hello. I'm 31 yo mother of 2 girls. I was diagonised with TNBC earlier this month and yesterday received the news from my lymph node biopsy that the caner is in there too.

As my sister put it, "If your going to get cancer, Breast cancer would be the one you pick!" There is so much money put into research, support etc and survival rates are so high. I am certainly intending on upping those rates by one more.
