Hi and a warm welcome to the breast cancer group, you may already be a member of other groups due to your other cancers. Sorry you find yourself back on the cancer treadmill.... to say you’ve been dealt a c*** hand is a gross understatement. I had a different brand of breast cancer but there are many folk here who had triple negative so I’m sure they’ll appear before long. There’s also a triple negative group which you may have found already, but I think it tends to be a bit less busy than this one. Also in this group there’s a Chemo thread in the Diagnosis and treatments section. And a great Chat thread called Awake.
Sending love and a big virtual hug, HFxx
Hi
Another warm welcome to the community from me, though sorry you are going through this.
HappyFeet1 has already given you most of the information you need - this is a big group and hopefully some others will be along soon. Have a look around and join in any of the discussions you want - some have been going a long time, some are new - join in wherever you feel comfortable.
Here's a link to the February breast cancer chemo thread - we'll refresh it for March but you might want to pop in and say hello and see if there are any tips to help you when you start.
If you need a hand with anything or have any questions, just ask and we'll see if we can help.
We'll be keeping our fingers crossed that chemo treats you kindly
Sending some virtual hugs
