Hi all. Reaching out for some positivity. I have TNBC and am due for my 8th and final chemo session next week before surgery then radiotherapy. I’ve been mostly able to stay quite positive throughout my treatment so far but I’ve been really struggling over the last few days. I think what’s getting to me is that as I head into my last chemo session I’m praying for a full response as I know this gives a much better outlook. My MRI is due the week after my 8th chemo and I’m terrified it’s not going to show much shrinkage of the main tumour. I know there are still options should I not have a complete response (chemo tablets for 6 months post surgery) but I can’t shake off the thoughts that in this case it’s only a matter of time before it’s back. I’ve tried to explain my dark thoughts to my partner but he just does the super positive thing of ‘it will be fine, we are beating this’ and doesn’t want to engage in a conversation about other possibilities. I don’t want to dwell on the negative and I’m hoping to find some stories from people on here that have been through TNBC, didn’t get a full response from chemo but have gone on to live healthy lives without recurrence and metastasis. Thanks so much in advance
