New to the group!

Hi Esbob, 

Sorry to hear you too have had a sleepless night but lovely to read such a positive first post!  

I was diagnosed with TNBC on the 29th November and had my second chemo session on 31st December. Like you, mine has been caught early and purely by chance as the consultant thought it was a fibroadenomyoma at first. I found the first few weeks before starting treatment absolute hell (the diazepam got me through too!) but amazingly I am now just plodding on with the weekly chemo and hoping for the best outcome. There are plenty of accounts of TNBC survivors living happy, healthy lives years on from diagnosis to we are right to focus on the positives of the situation.

I'm also trying to avoid Dr Google but like you say, everyone on here is so supportive and kind...so here is definitely the best place to be. 

I wish you the very best of luck with your treatment. It would be nice to keep in touch as we are not too far apart on our treatment journey.  xxx

Heh thank you so very much for the reply ! The lump I have I have had for 15 years and always been put down to me “being lumpy”  with like you fybroadenoma  being used by GPS 

i had mammograms and ultra sounds all  through the years, as recent as August 2018 when I turned 50 and all came back fine ! 

However I began to think it was changing but told myself that it was me being paranoid again about it ! Thankfully my husband nagged me and off I went to be told that yes it had changed and I had triple negative breast cancer! Like you the same consultant who is fantastic and top of his game even thought it was nothing! ( I don’t know who was more shocked him or I) 

So yes we are pretty similar my lovely and it would be nice to keep in contact.

Strength does kick in from where I don’t know but I am so grateful to now beable to cope (Secretly think it is my mum from up there in the heavens looking after me! ) 

Good luck you too in your treatment and a successful positive outcome xxxx
