Hello Maggyanne

Sorry for your diagnosis. I'm awaiting an ultrasound and biopsy next Wednesday as I have found a 4cm hard lump in my breast.

I didn't know that chemo affected the heart - I have a pacemaker too.

My mum had just radiotherapy and she is now cancer free- no reoccurrence either (25 yes later) so chemo is not always needed.

Hello Maggyanne

Thank you for replying.  
I did know that a triple negative diagnosis is a more aggressive, quicker growing, more chance of reoccurrence 

and in most cases has to be treated more aggressively. 
So I was very sceptical myself of whether I would survive the chemo, with all my problems and queried the outcome

The consultant took the decision out of my hands at next appointment  He said the risks to you of chemo far out way the benefits,  and there could have been numerous serious complications

I am relieved  in one way but a part of me wonders if I have been left to see what happens
