Hi I've been reading through lots of your posts and just felt I needed to share my journey. I was diagnosed with tnbc at 43 stage 2 in lymph nodes.. I googled tnbc it scared the life out of me but some facts about tnbc chemo works really well on our type if we survive 5 years we have a very low chance of recurrence unlike hormone positive..

I was diagnosed June 2018 I had 16 chemo 12 weekly carbo and taxol then 4 fortnightly ac... it was very doable I lost my hair but you can get amazing wigs.. there's are medications to help every symptom u get so don't suffer.. think of the chemo killing your tumour at every session my breast actually ached while going through chemo

I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node removal.. I got a pcr when results came back pathological complete response.. chemo killed all the cancer then I had 4 weeks of radio... I'm doing great back working running hair better than ever.. my oncologist told me I am 93% cured.. be positive u have got this ladies best of luck to you all x x

Hello irishgirl1

I loved reading your post as it made me feel alot better. I had diagnosis in Nov 2019 and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Surgery June 2020. My pathology came back as a complete response. I was her2 positive which is equally as aggressive I believe but with a pcr has great results long term apparently. Thanks for that positive post, much appreciated

Hello

This is wonderful news + so nice to read :) Congratualtions!

I have only recently been diagnosed with TNBC + started treatment on 30th Dec so I am at the beginning of my journey but it gives me hope + strength to hear stories like yours I really hope I will be shouting the same results in the future! PCR all the way....

Sending love x

Thank you, Irishgirl this means so much to me.

Received my diagnosis on Monday, totally knocked me for six. I found a lump on left breast acted immediately. Mammogram, CT Scan and biopsy on Monday 11th Jan. I was told it is an aggressive cancer measuring around 2cm. My lymph nodes are clear and they is no evidence that it has spread.

Yesterday was not good for me I couldn't stop sobbing. Came onto Macmillan Online and after reading your story (and others) I feel so positive.

I've got Oncology on Monday at 9.00, Tuesday its the MRI scan.

Hubby has been brilliant, but I feel I need 'Girl Power and not Google!!!'

Thanks again
