Hi, 

I was diagnosed with triple neg in October, had a lumpectomy in November and started chemo early December. It's quite a journey, but I can honestly say it's better than I had feared. More good days than bad and the bad days I am getting through with the love and support of family and friends. Keeping positive isn't always easy but it does help. My breast care nurse told me that TNBC now has about the same recurrence rate as other cancers because treatments are improving so much. There is a lot to be positive about. Some great advice a friend, who is a cancer survivor, gave me us that it's a journey, never a nightmare. I always remind myself of that when I'm low or gave grotty side effects.

Be there for your Mum every step of the way and encourage her. She will get through this. Good luck on the journey

I’m at that in between stage, op over and not sure next steps.  I’m glad it’s not as bad as you feared.  I’m trying not to think too much about it.  Also good to hear about reoccurrence rates.  Yes quite some journey we have ahead of us.  Is your treatment plan, chemo then radiation??

Yes, radiotherapy 6 weeks or so after end of chemo. I found it easier once I knew the plan and got started. Good luck

hya all the build up to op was terrible but the actual op no probs ...im 3 days post op now and only tapes under my arm where sentinel node was taken . they are rubbing my under arm coz I've got very sensitive lately in that region . post op consultation in 2 weeks and results of biopsy. 

wats best pain blockers only been told 2x500 codocodomol every 4hrs but the pain is back b4 the 4hrs is up. 

any advice appreciated.  

well I've had the op. not as bad as the build up to it.. 3days post op today and tape under arm is rubbing that's all though. surgeon really was great . she's kept the insition to a minimum ....no stitches to come out they're dissolvable.  just tired and still shakey but think as they say I had plenty morphine. 

2 weeks for biopsy results till then restveat sleep
