Hi Emma

I to also have triple negative, initially they thought it was hormone positive but after my surgery and lymph biopsy we found out. 

I started chemo yesterday consultant said I would have 6 sessions every 3 weeks then weekly for 3 weeks 4th week off x3 followed by 10 days of radiotherapy. When I started yesterday the nurse said first bit was wrong it is 6 but over 3 sessions.

Oncology will tell you what you will be getting after it's been discussed at your mdt meeting.

Hi Emma 

I've sent you message xx

Iv replyed xxxxxxxxx

Hey there, sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis.

All I will say is that you should request a full body scan once the treatment is done. My mother in law went down the same route and rung the bell when chemo was finished but the cancer had spread to distant areas (lung, brain and adrenal gland) but at the end of her treatment for the breast cancer she only had a mammogram so didn’t know at the time that it had spread. It’s only when she went for a blood test then more scans that they then realised it had spread to 3 other places.

I wish you all the best x
