Triple Negative

Hi Chris, I've got breast cancer and currently I'm receiving chemotherapy,  I'm using the cold cap during my treatment,  I lost lots of hair volume but still got my hair.

It's very hard time but you need to stay positive,  you need to look in to small good things,  put your head up ,you've got this and you'll bit this! Xxx

Hi Chris

I was diagnosed at the end of November with surgery scheduled for 15th January,  I've also been told I will definitely need chemo. Like you, I went originally with cysts which I've had every so often for the last 8 years, so when the radiographer said she needed to take biopsies it was a bit of a shock and then rocked me to the core when told it was cancer in both breasts.

I'm still undecided at present of what surgery to have but seeing my consultant later today. Although I can't offer you any advice as it sounds as though we're at the same stage, I just want to say stay positive, take one step at a time xxx

Thanks so much AgaS, really appreciate your comments

Hi Chris

my name is Abbi, I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 21st December, found out on Christmas Eve it is triple negative. This was a huge shock, I’ve only just turned 30 and have a little girl who is 21 months. I’m due to see the oncologist this afternoon. I need to stop breastfeeding ASAP as I’ve been told I will have chemo first then surgery. My daughter has a very rare syndrome, she’s had 10 surgeries up to now and is due another big operation sometime this year, waiting to find out when. Feeling very overwhelmed with everything but trying to stay positive. We will get through this x

I’m so sorry about your diagnosis Abbi especially at this time of the year and with the situation with your daughter.

Please stay strong and positive, you will need all the help and support you can get from your family and friends. This forum will also give you the virtual love and support.

Don’t forget that you can speak to your care nurse if you have been allocated one and also the Macmillan support line - I don’t know how I would have cope if not for me been able to spend hours on the phone talking to them about all my worries, I remembered one minute I was sobbing and the next we were laughing. Macmillan support you are the best!!!

Abbi, please call them and just talk, they will listen and advice you as necessary.

You are not alone, there over 16k people in the forum. We are rooting for each other, we are.a family facing the same challenge.

stay strong and will remember you in my prayers

Hi there

I was diagnosed with TNBC on Tuesday. Three lumps- two in right breast and one in right armpit. Have scans and mri coming up in the next few days and meet oncologist on Thursday. I have an 18 month old son too. To say I am petrified would be an understatement. I will be 36 in a few weeks xx

Hi JenLou85,

keep strong and positive, we can all get through this together.

please speak with MacMillan nurses to help with your worries, they have easy and natural ways of putting our mind at rest during this difficult situations. I’ve been on the phone to them many times.

sending you lots of love and prayers

Chris xx

Thank you xxx
