In 2023 I had Triple negative breast cancer. Having fought this off 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with cancer in my left eye and now today have been told I have lung cancer. The lung and eye are thought to be mets/ secondary from the TNBC.
I'm only 52 with 3 young boys which I'm still raising. I'm totally petrified tonight. I have a head MRI scan this Fri and will then get a treatment plan.
I'm not sure what to do or ask, but I guess my question is, does anyone have any positive lung cancer stories after TNBC. What treatment did you have. Any guidance / reassurance would be much appreciated. I feel I'm spiralling out of control in fear this evening.
Thank you
