Choices - Wife diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Offline Sisking1 over 3 years ago

Hi

My wife was diagnosed with TNBC in late August. A lump the size of 16mm was removed from the right breast .

There was nothing found in the lymphnodes all clear.

The chemotherapy will take place soon and after that a week of radiotherapy.

My research tells me the recurrence rate is high with this type of cancer.

I am now putting this out to anyone who has had this type of illness, when did they have this any advise please.

Thank you .
