I was diagnosed with TN one year ago and had 6 months of treatadiation . There is.07 cm left of the tumor. I'm starting Xeloda tomorrow. I had chemo 4yrs ago for HERt and it helped.
I'm nervous to take another jump into the chemo world once again!
Hi GartsKid and welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to hear about your TN diagnosis, this is such a hard time for and I can understand why you are nervous, but I do hope you will find lots of support and comfort here on the Online Community.
The New to Community is like our reception desk where we can signpost you to our various support groups and services and I do see you have already joined our Triple negative breast cancer group. This will be a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis or treatment experience.
If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green link I have created above. Then once the page opens you can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New (Computers) or + (Mobile Devices). You will then see a dropdown menu so hit ‘Start a Discussion in New here, say hello’ and you are ready to go.
You could copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also search through existing ‘Discussions’ and click [reply] if you want to put up a comment.
The Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via web chat. This service provides cancer information, emotional support, benefits and financial guidance or just a listening ear.
To find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers check our Online Information and Support Section.
Talking to people face to face can indeed help a lot but during these strange times it’s not that available but do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area has opened up. Do also check out for a local Maggie's Centre in your area.
