Next week last day of 20 chemos

Good luck!! Xx

 Hi mce123

Sorry you find yourself here, but I have found this community very supportive  and inspiring, also a place where I don't feel so alone.

I to was diagnosed with stage 1 grade3 triple negative  BC in July 19. I have had a lumpectomy removing an 1.1centimeter tumour, and two nodes removed which were thankfully clear. I have completed 6 sessions of Fec-T chemo, and will start 15 sessions of radiation on 13/02.

TNBC is a concern when you hear of on-going targeted therapies for other cancer types, but I have decided not let it worry me anymore, but now the beast has been removed, I  concentrate on what I can do to support my body to function properly and support itself from rouge cells.

Best of luck  with your MRI results

Warrior 4,

Thanks so much for your insights and personal story.  It's interesting on how we seem so similar in our diagnosis but yet our treatment plans are so different.  Good luck and I agree ... support your body to function properly and support itself from rouge cells.

hey i have also been diagnosed with stage 1 grade 3 triple negative it’s the wait for you will likely get chemo that’s driving me mad ! everything I read states I will however rot is the waiting game ! we’re you the same ? needing to wait on pathology and gene test before finalise 

thanks 

Hi There,

Can i ask how your mri went please, my wife was recently diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. They said that on the day she went for the tests that they done an ultra sound on the lymph nodes and they were clear. Assume that is a good thing. Chemo plan sounds the same - 20 weeks - every 2nd week for 8 weeks and then every week for 12 weeks.Hope you are doing well.

Was this a question to me?

i have to wait until May 11 to go for my mri results and consultation.  It seems ages. I was told often they give chemo before a lumpectomy or mastectomy but because of the virus they won’t. So this may be bad.

My ultra sound found no cancer in the lymph nodes.

i was hoping for radiotherapy only.

its all very frightening.

do keep in touch re you wife or if she wants to and tell me how the chemo goes.

i saw my husband suffer with it for prostate cancer and the fifth docetaxl killed him one in a thousand get pulmonary fibrosis and we were not warned sufficiently so if there are shivers and breathing difficulties hurry to phone them and get to hospital.

best wishes Vibraphone

Hi Vibraphone, yes it was to you. Thanks for the reply, best of luck with your results. My wife starts chemo Thursday.. she will be doing 20 weeks, 8 weeks of every second week and then once per week, she just wants to get it started now. Sounds a bit like yourself, she is doing chemo, surgery the radiotherapy. She was offered surgery first, surgeon said it would not change anything but gave it as an option. Her lymph nodes showed clear in the ultra sound as well, so thats a good thing i hope.

Best of luck,

Darhil

Thanks and all the best to you and your wife. It’s all

beastly but they will try to help.

i am not sure how this replying works but hope it goes to you.

My wife started today, seemed to be over quickly? 1 injection to the arm and 1 through a drip for roughly 45 minutes. Seemed ok afterwards but once home felt tired, went to bed and woke after an hour feeling awful.
