Hi there @"k@th3r1n3". Sorry you’ve had to join the crew on here but welcome aboard. We are all here for you to answer all your questions. I had triple negative stage 2a grade 3 (3cm tumor) no lymph nodes involved May 2016 aged 43. My story different to yours as I had left boob off so i only had to have chemo and no radiation then took the right boob off 6 months later as a preventative did both as my guts told me too.and because of the triple neg diagnosis. I had my surgery 26th May and then started chemo about a month later. I also had a portacath inserted prior to treatment so I had to wait for that to heal also before I started. Are you having one of thoss put in too love ? Have you spoken to your breast care nurse too? Big hug. Margie xx
