So very scared

Hi MishBnLyss,

My mum was diagnosed with TNBC last year and the lymph node involvement really freaked us out, too! The fantastic news is that in my mum's case, the lymph nodes and the tumours responded REALLY well to chemo, to the point where when she had a mastectomy and lymph node clearance, only four nodes were positive! Radiotherapy worked really well, too. I know how frightening this is, and all the uncertainty is overwhelming, but take it one step at a time. Chew the elephant slowly, as they say!

I found it really helpful to go into the onc with Mum armed with a page full of questions. (I always found my mind blanked when I was actually in there!) I also Googled good questions to ask and just included the ones that would be useful for us.

I'm thinking of you and if you ever want to chat, you know where to find me!
