I have stage 3 triple negative. Mastectomy in 10 days time. Very scared

  • It went surprisingly well. Don’t feel too bad at the moment & my arm is ok too. One thing ticked off the list. 3 weeks until next stage is decided, I think it is radiotherapy then chemo. Will be thinking about you & hoping chemo is kind to you. Sending you a big hug full of strength for you x

  • Just had hospital  ring to do ct scan again before oncologist  appt tomorrow,  hopefully  things moving forward now, im going to get a wall planner too! Xx

  • Yay I got one and started it from the day I found out I had breast cancer and I can’t believe it’s 26 days already 

    it does look really good if you cross off each day with a big black marker pen you can see from across the room the days achieved and key milestones I’m really hoping I don’t get any set backs likes blood not being good enough for a round of chemo but even if I do I’ll still be able to see how far I’ve got 

    I should have my last chemo 7th September but I’ve put a mark on 30th so I have given a bit of head room for delays Now I just ride the waves and cross off each day ( I love the ‘ride the waves’ it does help relaxation to think of just going with it)

  • I'm on day 37 now and still not started treatment,  hopefully  not too long  right mindset can work wonders, we will do it ! X

  • How right you are about mindset I think it’s the most important thing we have  We have to trust the clinicians with the medical stuff and treatment and we just focus on a positive mind and as you say we will do it
