Hello everyone,
Unfortunately, my wife has received some devastating news, and I’m struggling to find ways to stay positive for her or envision our future.
She has been diagnosed with TNBC and is undergoing a year of therapies (immuno and AC) followed by surgery in January. Despite this, a recent PET scan revealed rapid regrowth at the site of removal.
We’ve consulted with doctors, and she’s now on palliative chemotherapy (capecitabine). I’m grappling with the uncertainty of our future and how bleak it may seem.
We have a 3-year-old daughter, and the thought of my wife not being here to share in her schooling and other milestones is almost unbearable.
Has anyone else experienced TNBC and been prescribed these medications?
Or has anyone been on palliative care and ultimately recovered?
My wife is only 31, and she desperately wants to see our child grow up. I’ve tried searching for information online, but it’s challenging to find real-life experiences amidst the medical jargon.
Most sources only mention a lifespan of 3-12 months with palliative chemo.
Thank you all for any insights or support you can offer.”
I hope this helps convey your message clearly. My thoughts are with you and your wife during this challenging time.
So sorry to read your post, I can't even imagine how tough this is for you all. Macmillan do offer some great support and you might want to give them a call, just to have someone to talk to outside your medical team, but with so much experience. The number is 0800 808 0000. Maybe this helps a little.
