Hi Julie.c64 

Everyone's treatment plan is tailor made for them, but after my biopsies I was told my cancer was invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) Grade 3 triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Because the lump and area of DCIS was small, I had a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy and then radiotherapy. It wasn't planned that I'd need chemotherapy but the sentinel lymph node (SLN) removed during my lumpectomy showed a tiny trace of cancer cells so I was given the choice.

When do you have your appointment to discuss the results and treatment?

Thanks for replying waiting is hard , I know it was only 21st March when I was told my lump was cancerous what was lymph node treatment like did it happen with lumpectomy 

Hi Julie.c64 

Yes, I've had the same diagnosis. 

The treatment I had for finding cancer in the lymph node was chemotherapy. This started about 9 weeks after my surgery. If you want to read more about the type of chemo I had, just click on my username or picture which will take you to my profile.

Oh my God you have been through so much thanks for sharing your story I have started a diary but until I know what's going on not much to share. My colonoscopy is on Saturday as blood was discovered but told it's precautionary. The also said my cancer could be genetic but it takes some weeks for results 

Hi I have this. My treatment i started with was 12 weeks weekly paxo, carbo & immunotherapy every six weeks throughout. Then over to four sessions of every three weeks EC but only managed one and had reactions so now going for surgery and then radiotherapy.

they tailor it to each individual and see how you are. My genetics came back negative. 
hopefully you get your plan soon.

best of luck 

Hello,  I did not have TNBC so cannot give you any personal details.  I just finished reading my CURE magazine which is only available in the US but there was an article that I read about TNBC and think you will benefit from reading it.  You can then talk to your Surgeon, oncologist etc so you get the best outcome and reduce risk of recurrence.  Hugs and love to you as I know this cancer diagnosis can be very difficult especially at the beginning because of the unknown of treatments etc.  I hope you can read the article.

That’s actually helped me, thank you 

Hi can I ask were you able to work, I was recently made redundant so because of a clause I cannot work till 1st of May and will probably need to be agency if am able too. I am looking into benefits but not sure what I can apply for my husband works but it was both our salaries running our home

Oh I am so glad  as there is so much research on TNBC.  Love to share.  

Iv not been able to work. Iv just been out of hospital after 5 weeks as had sepsis, blood transfusion and DRESS syndrome. Now have neuropathy and poor use of right side. 
everyone is different with reactions though so don’t go worrying about symptoms. 
we too needed two wages, could apply for PIP, UC and we have ESA.

Hope that helps
