Is there anybody out there who has been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. This is my diagnosis and I have seen two oncologists, one for chemo and one for radiotherapy. The second oncologist thinks I could benefit from Tamoxifin but the first said it wouldn't be of any help to me. There isn't much known about the best treatment for this condition so it would be helpful if anybody else has this diagnosis and what their treatment options have been.
Thanks for all for comments about aqueous cream. Will now start applying religiously. (Going upstairs in a minute!) To Wench53 if you read my first blog about radiotherapy, please do not take any notice. I am sure I am more of an exception with my anxiety about it. Most people seem to find it ok and even I am now getting more used to it. Wish you good luck.

To be honest, I find it difficult to go with my partner when he had day clinic appointments. The hardest part is walking in and seeing so many patients...

Hi all - 15th day on dexamethasone and Im not getting any kip. Reluctant to start taking sleeping pills - anyone got any advice for me.

The results showed that the brain tumor has redcued significantly in size. It has come of the spine which is brilliant news. The doctors have said 1 year of chemo, mri's every three months. but it all good at the moment.
