I was recently diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer and have been scheduled for a lumpectomy, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

The diagnosis came as a shock and has caused me many sleepless nights. It took a lot of courage to join this forum, especially after reading about different people’s experiences. The potential side effects of chemotherapy are honestly quite frightening for me.

However, I have chosen to stay strong, embrace the process, and fight to overcome this.

I would be grateful for any information, support, or guidance on how best to navigate this journey.

  • I was diagnosed in August with Triple negative BC … I’m on a different treatment plan to you … got breast lump and one lymph node affected. 
    I’m currently having chemo ( pacitaxi annd carbolatin ( spelling may be wrong ! )  plus immunotherapy  and soon to start EC. I will have surgery after chemo. 
    side effects not too bad though my asthma has been affected. 
    I will admit I’m nervous about EC! 
    I wish you all the best and to try to embrace it as you mentioned .. think it’s the only way.   One day at a time. 
    there is a Triple negative group on here which you may find useful to tap into.

  • Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. I’m glad your side effects have been manageable, though I’m sorry to hear about the impact on your asthma.

    I will definitely look into the triple-negative groiup. Wishing you strength and smooth recovery as you continue your treatment.
