I have recently been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Stage 3 as its also in a lymph node. I'm so scared, actually I'm terrified. Following an mri to determine a treatment plan they have noticed an abnormality on my hip. Today I have had a ct scan and am waiting a bone scan. I already feel my mood is at rock bottom. I have a wonderful husband and 3 children. How do people do this with young children? I'm so sad at what I'm about to put them through and I've not clue if I will even survive this. I can't shift my mood today. I feel mentally broken. Thank you for listening x
I have metastatic TNBC and am almost 3 years into my journey. I had immunotherapy and achieved remission. It’s not been without consequences from the treatment but I am still here and very much intend to stick around. TNBC isn’t just one subtype of cancer and there are several newer treatments, depending on what exactly you have (mine is PD-L1 positive and was treated with Pembrolizumab). I hope my story gives you some hope. I thought I had acquired an immediate death sentence when I first discovered I had spread to my liver.
