Hi Sixtyeight, 

How are the chemotherapy sessions going for you? Well done for having completed 6 so far you're more than half way through if you only have 4 more to come. There is information on our website on Triple negative breast cancer including on the main types of treatment which are surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It's completely understandable that you sometimes struggle to keep positive especially if you are having difficulty sleeping and it's when you're lying there awake at night that those thoughts come flying around your head and it can be difficult to shake them off. This is also what this forum is for, if you ever feel you can't sleep and you want to offload and talk to others who understand how you are feeling. 

It can also be comforting to talk to others who have had a similar diagnosis and I've had a little look around the forum and found for example that this member Bumble-Bee posted 3 months ago about their triple negative breast cancer diagnosis so it sounds like they were diagnosed at around the same time as you - feel free to respond on that thread where you will find others like lynne63 , Carol1964 who also had treatment for triple negative breast cancer so rest assured you are not alone here and I hope someone will be along shortly to share their experience and Triple Negative Breast Cancer story with you. 

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with our cancer nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

I hope that your remaining chemotherapy sessions go well and that the treatment is effective and with minimal side effects.

Best wishes,

Hi Lucie

Thank you very much for the information and taking the time to look for people in almost the same position as me.  I see Carol has responded and it is so comforting to read what other people are going through and how they are dealing with it.  Family and friends have been amazing but it makes a difference hearing from people that know exactly how you feel.
