Hi All

I am new to the group, but really grateful to have found you and really looking forward to support and supporting x

  • Love the title of your message Joy  Welcome to the group. I am 4 weeks post op and waiting for results. I have found it a really useful forum. There are lots of supportive, knowledgeable women on here with really helpful information. 

    Sending good luck and positive vibes for your journey ahead Heart

  • Not a group we ever thought we would have to join Shrug  i had triple negative bc in 2017,  had WLE and 3 nodes taken.  Clear margins all round with 15 radiotherapy sessions.  Thought that was it but in 2019,  same breast,  TNBC again, 2 lumps found so this time single mastectomy and aux nodes removed.  Again clear margins so then onto chemotherapy.  12 weekly paclitaxel and every 3 weeks carboplatin as well.  Then every 6 months for 2 years Zoladronic IV.

    Had my 4th mammogram last month,  still" no change" so just one more next year and if still " no change " then classed as in remission so fingers crossed.  If i can offer any advice re radioand/or chemo or just fancy a chat  please get in touch.  Good luck and stay positive xx

  • Hi   welcome Blush

    I agree none of us want to be in this group but it’s the best place to be for support ,answers ,chat or giggles yes you can laugh but also cry when you want Oh ! and RANT !! 
    Have a browse around the varied threads and just jump in when you and where you want you will be welcomed .

    If you are undergoing chemo or rads there are thread for that with lots of help and hints also Awake is a very busy chatty thread 

    You can also read our stories on profiles ..if you click on name you can read bio so many positive stories to read also write a little bio on your profile if you want it helps others to know who they are talking to 

    good luck with your treatment 

    One step at a time and ...Breathe !

  • Hi there,

    I love your ‘breathe’ name too - it’s hard to when first diagnosed but a treatment plan and being wrapped up in support helps. I was diagnosed in December and have had two rounds of EC chemo - third one due this week.

    Yoga is my friend through this and I’m wondering if with a name like yours if it’s yours too?

    I find the yoga mat and this forum a grounding place to be,
