Hi Guys
can I ask if anyone has had surgery first ? I have been told yesterday afternoon that I’m having it first !! That’s because I meet the criteria !! Cos the lump is small even though I’m grade 3 TN !!
Hi Bonnie Boo
Yes, I had surgery first (lumpectomy) followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. My lump was also a small, grade 3 TNBC.

Hi latchbrook
thanks for that when we’re you diagnosed ? How long after surgery did you have chemo ? Sorry for all the questions it’s nice to have someone who has been there .
I was diagnosed at the beginning of April last year and had my surgery at the end of that month. Three weeks later I had the results from my surgery and saw my oncologist at the beginning of June. Chemotherapy started in the first week of July, although it should have been the week before but my bloods weren't right.
Don't worry about asking questions
So it happened fast then I was diagnosed 23 rd March 23 and was only told yesterday that it was TNBC ,surgery first hopefully in the next 2weeks then see oncologist for plan . I have never felt so scared in my life !!
It's natural to be scared Bonnie Boo but it's all perfectly doable. Your hospital team will take good care of you and if there's anything you want to ask me about your upcoming surgery I'll do my best to answer
Did you have a Ct scan after surgery ? Or any other scans ?? Have you finished your treatment now ? Sorry just thought I’d ask thanks x
I didn't have any form of scan, either before or after surgery, but I'm due my first mammogram since finishing treatment in a couple of weeks time.
