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 Margaret,

    It's great to reach the end of treatment. I hope that you have felt well since. I hope that the trip to South Africa goes well. Enjoy!

    Kind regards,

    Hi, I was diagnosed with breast cancer on Feb 6 and had a WLE on 27 Feb.  This has turned out to be grade 3 triple negative.   I have a sentinel node biopsy on 2 Apr - the nodes looked clear on scan but they are double-checking.  I've had a CT scan already and a bone scan soon.  To say I'm terrified would be a massive understatement.  There's now no avoiding chemo which I'm dreading and so worried that the scans will show something suspicious elsewhere.  Thank you for the inspiring stories of recovery but this is even scarier than other forms of breast cancer and I just needed to express how I'm feeling!

    HI Wallflower,

    A very warm welcome to our forum, although I'm sorry for the reason that you've joined us. The way you are feeling is perfectly normal at this stage. Believe it or not, you will feel better once you get the results of your biopsy and, know exactly what is planned for you.

    I know that this is not a good form of cancer to be lumbered with, but you will get the strength to see it through. There are still many inspiring stories from people with triple negative, grade 3. If you go to the blue banner at the top of this page and insert triple negative in the search box, then click, you will find previous posts on this topic.

    Please keep in touch as you travel your cancer journey. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
