Hi Cry

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear about your diagnosis of stage 3 triple negative breast cancer. Easy to say I know but try to take your mind off it by doing the things you love doing.if you want to talk to someone about what you are going through you can ring the Macmillan helpline on 0808 808 00 00 anytime between 8am and 8 pm 7 days a week. They can put you in touch with someone who knows what you are going through if that’s what you want.

Wishing you the best of luck with your operation.

Sending you a hug.

Best wishes

am so sorry to hear you have cancer too. There’s lots of help and support here.

I have stage 3 cancer oestrogen positive and had a mastectomy. I found the surgery was fine and in the end I was just so relieved that my cancer was removed. Chemo also wasn’t as hard as I’d imagined, though it had its ups and downs.

thinking of you as you prepare for and have your surgery. Xxx

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, I was diagnosed  yesterday  with stage 2a triple negative,  mines aggressive so told I need chemotherapy  first, mri tomorrow,  its all very daughting  isn't it ? Good look with surgery  x

Thank you everyone for your support, I already feel less alone. Now I can ask a silly question-do you have to empty your own drain bottles?? 

1. Hi I’ve just been diagnosed with triple negative I’m so scared my hearts pounding I’m having panic attacks and too frightened to read anything I’d expected anything but a triple negative diagnosis it’s not spread apparently but as you can see I’m googling at 3 am 

Hi Scared Bunny

Please stop googling, it will do nothing but increase the stress. A lot of information is outdated, and  you will only pick up on the worst case scenario as you are anxious. 

Yes this is scary but research and treatment is available to treat this, right here right now please concentrate on the information you have been given for you. Your team will do everything in your best interest to get you through this one step at a time.  We are all in this journey but there are options. 

Non of us want to be here and each step of the journey will be scary but totally doable if you keep positive. 

This is a great support group and I am glad you have found it, keep logging in here and asking questions as they pop up. You can and WILL do this xxxx

Thank you so much this seriously helps and I know googling is not a good idea but it’s really hard not to 

your words ‘ you can and you will do this ‘ are repeating in my head and much needed 

Keep that in mind and little by little you will gain the strength you never knew you had. 

I’m quite early in my journey, have ups and downs but have decided to turn this into a positive, I can’t change my diagnosis but can change how I look at each day, some are hard, some are easy. I’m proud of handling the hard and enjoy the easy. 

Where are you with diagnosis, treatment etc?
