Hi,
My name is Emma and I'm 37 years old. I have been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, 2A. I have been able to remain quite positive until now. Today I had my appointment at guys and feel the weight of the world.
I have got into my head and feel completely lost and hopeless because of this specific type of breast cancer. I am already sure in my mind, that it will reoccur somewhere untreatable and I won't survive.
U haven't even got over this cancer yet but already I feel like I've seen the end. Please please please can someone else me with any positive stories. I am so so scared and I feel like I cannot breathe and have had two panic attacks already.
I start chemotherapy with immunotherapy hopefully this week or early next week. I feel beyond lost and I want to know what I did that caused this. They didn't see any sign of lymph nodes being affected in my MRI but that was a few weeks ago and with it being so aggressive, maybe it has spread there now and then it's over.
Please can someone help me.
Hi Emma/Embuffyfan10363b
You wanted a positive story, so here's one 
I was diagnosed with TNBC in April 2022. I had a lumpectomy, followed by chemotherapy (because there were microdeposits in one sentinel lymph node) and radiotherapy and here I am completely recovered and living life to the full.

PS. Happy to share any specific experiences with treatment that you'd like to know
((hugs))

When I was diagnosed immunotherapy wasn't given alongside chemotherapy. What chemotherapy will you be having and, if it's the same as mine, I can tell you my experience with it.
Will you be having a lumpectomy or mastectomy and have they mentioned whether you'll be having radiotherapy or not?
After my main treatments I then had six-monthly infusions of Zometa, which is a bisphosphonate, for three years and didn't have any side effects from that.
I have a yearly mammogram and a yearly physical check-up with my oncologist, six months apart, so I feel happy with being checked every 6 months. Apart from that, if I'm concerned about anything I can speak to one of the breast cancer nurses.
Right now you'll probably feel that you have a long road of treatment ahead but it's amazing how quickly it passes and then you can get back on with your life.
