Hi Casput,
Sorry that you have found yourself here, however you will find lots of support & useful advice on this site.
It's important to have support from family & friends.
I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma - Stage 3 in June 2021.
Being eligible I applied & accepted onto The ROSCO Trial. I've had 4 rounds of chemo every 3td week over 12 weeks - 9th July to 4th Oct. On 20th Oct I had a lumpectomy & lymph nodes removed & slowly recovering from surgery. Now waiting for the path lab results for what has been removed.
Stay safe, be kind to yourself, if necessary be selfish as you now need to come first.

Hiya. I was diagnosed with stage 3 in June. Mastectomy and lymph node removal July. 27mm and 1 x lymph node positive and vascular invasion positive. Now on 4th cycle of chemo. Then radiography and continued herceptin. Your plan will depend on all the other results around the grading. I am her2 positive and ER/PR negative. Stay positive. Xx
