  • Hi Yorkshire57

    Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum.  I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer.  Being told you have cancer is a shock to the system particularly if you weren't expecting it.  

    Breast Cancer is very treatable and they keep coming up with new treatments all the time .I was diagnosed with triple negative in 2020.  I had chemo, surgery and radiotherapy. Then less than two years later I had a small local recurrence.  I had further surgery to remove the lump and I've been cancer free for over two years.

    If you feel up to it why not ring the Macmillan helpline to talk to someone about how you are feeling, or alternatively if you have a Maggie's Centre or another cancer centre near you give them a ring or call in to talk to someone.  Macmillan can arrange counselling for you if you wish as can Maggie's or another cancer centre.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment.

    Best wishes
