Hi. I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at the start of November. The lumpectomy went well and the cancer hasn't spread but I'm facing six sessions of chemo as 'insurance' because this type can be quite aggressive. I'm really anxious about the side effects both physically and emotionally. I'm signed off work because my job involves working with the public and already I'm climbing the walls having been off just four weeks. Just wanted to post to introduce myself and say I've already taken a lot of encouragement from some of the posts here. 

  • Hello, your in good hands here love....I'm through with active treatment now and due my mammogram next month...fingers crossed I'm in the clear....

    what I can say now ( in hindsight) is that the year flew by...I totally wrote it off.....but here I am I now a totally different position than I was this time last year....

    here if you need to chat xx

     

  • Thanks Marlyn! I'm so glad things have gone well for you and I wish you all the best for your mammogram. It's so helpful to hear from someone who has gone through it and sounds so positive. Thanks for that. Part of me just wants to get started so that I know what I'm dealing with and how I will cope. Another part of me is terrified. But if it's my best shot of this not coming back then bring it on. Thanks again for your kind words x
