well today the breast nurse rang me, was getting uppity because i had turned chemo down, then out of the blue she declares that i have 'triple negative' breast cancer, i have never heard this term before, and after research it changes it all around and dumps it all on its head. when i look up tripe neg breast cancer its not good, its aggressive, normally comes back, often in the brain! its aggressive and also more than likely genetic, well i have my gene resutls and i dont have the BRAC 1 or 2 mutation, so now i am thinking perhaps i should have chemo....but she said i am at a 30% risk of it coming back with the chemo and and a 20% risk if i have it, hoewver if you google tripe neg it says its a high risk of it coming back, nearly all cases get it back, its a new thing they have found, that normal chemo doesnt work on it!!!! why didnt they tell me this before - i feel i have no choice now but to take chemo, i dont want it, but i think the risk of a re-run of the cancer is too high not to ......damn!
anyone else out there in my place, would love to chat to other triple neg people
