Triple negative breast cancer grade 3

Hi everyone.

I have triple negative breast cancer grade 3 and start my chemo in 2 weeks. 3 sessions of FEC - T then 3 of docetaxel.  Have been looking at wigs but just doesn't feel right. I'm scared and don't wanna know to much about it if I honest just want to know that it's treatable and curable which docs have told me it is so that's good enough for me. Has anyway else had this diagnosis or treatment and what can i expect. The fear of infection while going thru treatment scares me also. How has everyone else been with that ?? 

Sending love n hugs to all fighting cancer

    Hi Dondon0808,

    I have been reading this chat havig recently been diagnosed with stage 1, grade 3 triple neg breast cancer at the age of 30. I am going through genetic testing as it is likely I have a Bracca gene.
    I am due to start chemo in 2 weeks -  likely 6 rounds followed by surgery (likely double mascectomy) and then a bit of radiation therapy - then likely recon surgery.

    How did your treatment go/ how is it going?

    HI Simbear,

    Welcome to our community, although I'm sorry that you've had to join us. Do you have a history of breast cancer in the family, or are you just making sure for future generations? I hope that you do not have the BRACA gene.

    It won't be long now until you start your chemo. Please try not to worry about surgery after that. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 9 years and, have had a lumpectomy followed by a double mastectomy the following year. I felt better after the double mastectomy than I did after the lumpectomy.  I wasn't as lobsided and I felt that I had done as much as I could to get rid of my cancer.

    I hope that, with time, you will feel better once you get all this treatment behind you.

    Please update us and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
