  1. I joined the triple negative forum because I wanted info and advice specific to that. But I’ve been looking at this forum too and it’s much busier and more general info and advice. 
    I am triple neg, and waiting waiting waiting for my treatment to start. Chemo, then surgery then radiotherapy unless things change. I have an MRI booked tomorrow and then hopefully Fingers crossed things will get moving. It’s the waiting and worrying things are spreading while you’re waiting that is the worst for me at the moment, now I’m over the initial shock. I feel like my boob is a ticking time bomb. Very hard not to worry and be anxious. 
    I also cut my long permed hair to shoulder length, and on Thursday am having a pixie cut so it’s not such a shock when it falls out. 
    now off to look for beanies.

  • Hello and welcome.  The waiting is the pits and the worry gremlins raise their heads.  This is a very active thread to chat in.  Just join last post and say hello.

  • I know but there are similarities to some of the strands. I  didn't need chemo, the Oncotype DX decided that. Surgery, radiotherapy and hormone blockers for me. I have put it behind me now. Just staring to live again. Once one has had cancer though, a slight doubt will always be there. No guarantees. Waiting is stressful for everyone, always a gap of 4 or more weeks between appts. Radiotherapy was 11 wks after surgery. I do feel lucky to have picked it up when I did. It's the biggest shock having it confirmed what it is. Hope your treatment goes smoothly and you don't wait too long. X

  • Hi,

    I felt just like you did about my boob been a ticking time bomb, and cancer growing whilst waiting for scan results and treatment to start.  This stage is very very hard psychologically. I also cut my hair to shoulder length and then as soon as it started falling out cut to a number 4.  Was so much better than when long clumps were coming out.  Anna bandanna is a good siteforgays and scarves x
