Hi everyone
im new to this whole Macmillan site, so just wanted to say ‘Hi’.
i was diagnosed back in November 2025 with triple negative breast cancer and have been going through lots of scans biopsies etc.
started chemo in December and am now waiting for my 7th cycle of chemo and immunotherapy which will have a slight delay due to tummy upset with immunotherapy (bugger!)
ticking treatment off my list readying myself for surgery. Just had another MRI and today getting ready to see my oncologist.
i will have my right breast removed and armpit stuff done that I clearly do not have my head around yet! I will.
i like to look on the positive side of things and am grateful this was detected and is quite isolated. It grew where my previous scare from my DCIS was performed and only the mammogram detected it. The nurses kept telling me my lumpy scar was just scar tissue with no investigations, but do you know what… it’s so plausible that it could have been that.
anyway, treatment is harder than I thought it would be, being told I’d lose my hair felt like the end of the world… but living is better lol.
Anyway, hi everyone
best wishes,
