Hi Kirsty. I don't normally post on forums, just end up reading them. But it will help speaking to others. 

I was diagnosed in July 15 with grade 3 triple negative breast cancer whilst 25 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. I had a single mastectomy 10 days later. My baby was born at 32 weeks by cesarean. I started chemo 3 weeks later at the end of sept. I'm 39.

I had my 2nd round of chemo a week ago.

Have you started chemo?

I'm not doing too bad on it but do feel scared at times.

It is very common these days and you are definitely not alone xx

Hi, thanks for replying to me. Sounds like you have been through an awful lot already..I start my 3rd round on wednesday. I am suffering badly with the side effects and get scared alot at night..I am lucky I have a fab support network and my mum went through the same cancer 8 yrs ago. I just had a bad experience with my first chemo and became neutropenic and was hospitalised for 3 days..being on this forum helps xxx

Hi Jenni, thankyou for taking the time to reply to me. I found out 9 days post surgery that it had gone to my sentinal lymph node..I hope you don`t have to have chemo as we both know a mastectomy is tough enough. I opted for a fake boob, no nipple as it was full of cancer but I wanted a cleavage still. I hated having the drains in but was glad to get out of hospital. I just feel so tired and sick all the time xxx

Don't get scared at night. Try and think positive. Whereabouts do you live?

I live in the south of the UK, I slept well last night..just some nights are harder than others
