New Diagnosis

Hi and sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  My diagnosis confirmation was 16th Aug, my appointment with the oncologist was 21st Aug, MRI on the 30th Aug and my first chemo on 31st Aug.  Obviously this will vary from hospital to hospital and will depend on other appointments like bloods or picc lines etc, but overall I think they are pretty quick to get started with TNBC.  

Hi SandMac, so sorry to hear you have tnbc, it's such a shock and alot to get your head around. I've just had my first chemo treatment today. Took 18 days from seeing oncologist to starting, had my pre assessment 6 days ago. Get a Picc line next Friday as appointment for that delayed because of Christmas and new year. Hope everything goes well x

Thanks Kiowa, best wishes for your recovery

Sorry- auto correct changed your name! 

 just looked to see what it means, turns out Kiowa is a native American tribe, I like that, maybe I should change my community name....

Hi

I got my diagnosis confirmed on 21st December. Had MRI on 22nd. Had to have biopsy on a tiny lump yesterday. First visit to the oncologist on Thursday (my birthday). Not sure when chemo will start but I’m having that first then surgery. 

Hi Kiiaa

How are you feeling after your first treatment? Hope you’re not having too many side effects. 
Rest well and take care of yourself x
