Hello I have just joined the group in the hope that someone is having a similar experience/or already been through the same as me and can offer some encouragement. I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast cancer end October 2020. My treatment plan is two phases of Chemo, followed by a removal of the tumour and then breast saving operation followed by 21 days of radiotherapy. I finished my 1st phase of Chemo which was 4 x ACdd (Doxorubicine and Cyclosfosamide). I had the MRI scan once this treatment was finished but unfortunately the tumour hasn't shrunk in fact it has doubled in size! This has really given me a knock as I just didn't expect to hear the bad news I just assumed the chemo would work. Has anyone else had the same case. I have now been told the breast will be removed ( possibly both depending on the results of the genetic testing). I have started the second phase of chemo treatment which is 12 weeks of Paclitaxel. Of course all my hopes are pinned on this working but its a waiting game and I am finding it hard to handle the not knowing.
Would love to hear from anyone going through the same ordeal.
