Hello
I’ve just been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer - waiting for my second biopsy results to discuss next steps - scared but remaining active and positive….
sending love and prayers to everyone x
Hello,
I'm sorry you find yourself here but at least you will have treatment soon and it will remove the cancer. If you have TNBC it will probably be suggested that you have chemo and radiotherapy as with negative cancers you can't take hormone inhibitors.
I also had TNBC. After a lumpectomy, I had chemo and radiotherapy. I wanted to tell you because I know TNBC can seem very worrying especially if you have made the mistake of googling it . However, my diagnosis was 10 years ago. Each mammogram since has been clear. After five years my surgeon told me that that cancer was unlikely to reoccur. I live in a region that checks annually that no new cancers have developed so I know that so far nothing has regrown.
I hope you future plans and treatments go well. It may not always be pleasant but today's treatments are often very successful and tweaks since 2015 have helped make them more manageable.Take care. Love Karen
Hi Karen,

So pleased to hear you are clear which really is excellent and super reassuring to hear.
