Triple Negative Breast Cancer/Grade 3

Hi Sue,

I am sorry you have had to join us, but you have come to the right place for backup and support.  There is a TNBC group here you might like to join and read other women's stories.  The thing with TNBC is that our main lines of defence are chemo and radiation.  TNBC responds very well to both.  Also, we are nearly all Grade 3 when diagnosed, as it is aggressive and often appears between mammograms.  I am also TNBC and had surgery, chemo for 3 months, and 28 rads - that was 3 years ago this month and I feel normal and healthy again and lead a busy life.  Chemo is different for different people, but all my side effects were dealt with by the drugs you take before and after treatment.  It is do-able - the main thing is just to take things one day at a time.  Are you having a portacath to administer chemo?  It was my best friend, and made access easy.  Be guided by your medical team, and remember that chemo/radiation are our best shot at stomping out any stray cells left after surgery.  Stay in touch with how you are going.  Big hug. xx  Michelle
