Hi TREES26

Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer.  I  was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer over four years ago with lymph node involvement.  I had chemo first then surgery and radiotherapy and I made a full recovery.  Since I've been diagnosed treatments for triple negative breast cancer have improved so people are living longer with it.

Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment and with your genetic testing results.

Best wishes

Thank you Daisy53

Knowing others are out there with this more rare and aggressive form is comforting. 

Hi TREES26,

I was diagnosed with TNBC March 28th this year.I have received 6 months chemotherapy and immunotherapy.Im due to have surgery next week followed by radiotherapy.I can totally understand how you are feeling.Please do not google,the stas are outdated and treatment has come such a far way since then.There is a TNBC group on Facebook, they are amazing and I have found it an amazing support.Ladies who are no evidence of diesase years down the line.If I could give one bit of wisdom,is it seems so far away from the end of your treatment when first diagnosed, but trust me the time will go filled with appts etc.I can't believe my surgery is next week.Pull on all the support around you as people are amazing at keeping us positive xx

Hello Budsbails23

Really glad you've finished your chemo and on to next stage.  I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Grade 3 TNBC end Sept.  I am having my 4th infusion on Friday.  My plan is every week Abraxane and every 3rd week Prembo, Abraxane and Carboplatin.  I had a severe reactionto Paclitaxel snd they stopped the infusion on my first go hence now on Abraxane which has been fine.  Some minor side effects like tingling hands and feet and odd taste in my mouth but feeling ok.  Did you have Carboplatin and if so were there side effects.  Good luck with your treatment and recovery x
