I've just been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer for the 3rd time in so many years. 

It started in my left breast and 2 lymph nodes in 2018, then it came back in the same place in 2019 so I had a full nodes clearance and mastectomy and reconstruction January this year. 

September this year I had a reduction on the right side and an mri on my heart (as I changed to her2 positive in cancer number 2) showed up 2 swollen lymph nodes due to the operation but they turned out to be cancerous. 

I'm now waiting to see what treatment I'm having as her2 is borderline again but standard chemotherapy didn't work for me. 

I'm 41 and very fit other than this. I've had 17 chemo's and radiotherapy in the past. 

Any triple negative positive stories anyone has would really help me at the moment as I'm struggling mentally so much now and positively has gone completely and I've been so positive the past 2 and a half years  

Thank you in advance everyone

  • Hi Karen

    It's no wonder you're struggling having recently been diagnosed with TNBC for the third time. I can't help with any positive stories for you, as I had a different type of cancer, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.

    I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post this in the triple negative breast cancer group which I can see you're a member of. If you'd like to do this, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.

    Thanks for asking after me. I'm currently on 3 monthly check-ups for my melanoma which have become telephone consultations rather than physical ones during the pandemic. It's not quite as reassuring as actually seeing someone but I know that I can see someone if I find anything worrying.

    Wishing you all the best
