  • Hello Sharisse,

    I'm sorry to read your post on here. What a journey you've been on. It is all very scary and although there are a lot of different treatment options out there, your's sounds similar to mine.

    In a nutshell, I was diagnosed in October. Like you, I also had 6 lots of Chemo followed by a gap and then a bilateral mastectomy April 26th.My results showed a 1cm, triple negative residual cancer. I had some minor healing problems following surgery so there's been a bit of a delay but I've been told I have to start Chemotherapy again. I'm now due to start oral Capecitabine tablets on Friday. I'm also having Trastuzamab thigh jabs because I originally had a HER2 positive cancer which masked the triple negative one. I was totally unprepared for the triple negative diagnosis that came back in my Pathology results and I'm still trying to get my head around it.

    Sending you a big hug, Lilyanne xx♥️
