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 

  • Have you found out which cancer it is now x im sorry taken so long getting back to you . I know it all looks bleak about triple negative breast cancer . So i dont know they said its rare i met another lady first time i had chemo she had same as me . Invasive ductal cancer grade 3 triple negative. This lady was on her 12th chemo and was doing well . Iv had 4 lots of chemo 2 difrent types every time was having it every 2 weeks . I start my next lot of new chemo on Wednesday 6th feb 2 difrent types again . Every week for 12 weeks then one every 3 weeks . Got to see chemo nurse day befor treatment to explain more xx hope you ok let me know x 

  • I dont understand any of it all i know is i have invasive ductal cancer grade 3 triple negative.  Milk duct still blocked not going to drain it a small lump by it been told now more lumps behind it and one little lump near further up its in my lymp nodes but all in breast only. I have had first 4 lots of chemo . Starting my new lot of chemo 6th February every week and every 3rd week for 12 weeks . Then after this taking my boob of and striping lymph nodes out . So i dont know all a bit of a mess and shock realy x

  • Hi , yes I have exactly the same as you , start chemo on Friday 8th feb , got 6 lots of FEC I every 3 weeks then 15 rounds of radiation absolutely bricking it ....... xxxx 

  • Your treatment is different to mine is it exactly the same as i have invasive ductal cancer grade 3 triple negative. X I havent got my sheets with names of chemo on with me hear im at my friends . I had 2 difrent chemos a red one and a white one . One half syringes of both in line they had in my hand . It takes about 45 mins to put in nurse does it by hand. I was afraid but it was ok had some sied efects but not to bad xx I tried the cold cap twice but my hair started coming out day after 2nd chemo . I stoped wearing it you have to stay longer if you wearing it so gave up . Im nearly bald now but never mind. I am starting this new chemotherapy this Wednesday have to see chemo nurse day befor treatment . This treatment takes 3 hour i think i wont know exactly till i see her. 15 lots of chemo 12 weeks then boob being taken off and lymph nodes being striped out. It is all scary and i am wortied about it all but nothing any of us can do we have to go with the flow and hope we be ok . Dont worry i know it is all new and you dont know what to expect but you will be ok . I have to have 4 steroid tablets hour before chemo and anti sickness tablet then have to take steroids 3 days after and sickness tablets for 2 day. I havent been sick yet . So hope i wont with the new chemo. Xx
