Hello everyone,
I’m so grateful that we are all in this together but am sorry that we all find ourselves here, too.
This is my first post. I was diagnosed with a 6cm TNBC tumour in September and am currently in my 5th round of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, which will be followed by surgery and radiotherapy. The immunotherapy is planned to continue for a year.
I am struggling to keep positive for a cure. My oncologist has said that are treating it a curable but I can’t help thinking with the size and type of cancer that it will recur and spread. My husband and family are positive about a good outcome but I feel like I’m being fake and have this underlying feeling of dread.
The good news is that at the half way point of chemo, the tumour had shrunk to 33mm, so the treatment is working. I was wondering if anybody has an idea on whether my surgery will be a lumpectomy or a mastectomy? I feel like I would prefer a mastectomy but feel very confused by it all and quite scared and not at all brave. I think you are all so brave.
i’m not sure of this post even makes sense but thank you for letting me ramble.
M
