Hi I'm a bit lost tbh so hoping posting on here will help clear what's on my mind.
i was diagnosed with TNBC June 2021. I've completed chemo, a lumpectomy and reexcision and yesterday was talking to my consultant about my upcoming radiotherapy sessions, which are being given as a precaution as they have managed to remove all the tumour. However, as I only had a partial response to chemo before surgery she said there's a high risk of my cancer returning.
It's thrown me for 6 and I can't stop crying. I understand that TNBC has a higher recurrence rate but to also be told this because of the chemo has just more or less devastated me. I should be happy that I'm about to start another part of my journey, radiotherapy, but instead cant get the words high risk out of my head and feel like I've no hope, like it's definitely going to come back. I just wish I had a bit more to cling onto. My husband and friends have told me that I've beat this at the moment so should focus on that and concentrate on the radiotherapy but it's so easier said than done.
