Hi everybody, I'm new to this forum.  Diagnosed recently with TNBC - tumour was in my armpit and it took a while to be diagnosed as breast cancer, Stage 2A.  I'm now on what I believe is the standard treatment of Paclitaxel, Carboplatin (weekly) and Pembrolizumab (every three weeks).  They took out the lump in May thinking it was benign (despite two biopsies), which pathology showed was wrong, so I've already had surgery, but they are planning to do more in six months' time.  Very keen to share experiences here as I'm still rather in shock over this.  So far the side effects of treatment haven't been too bad, except that the steroid is really affecting my sleep.
