Triple negative breast cancer

I found out today my mum has triple negative breast cancer and doctor say it's been there easily 6 months. 

Mum had a mammogram in the summer and wasn't picked up by doctors . November time she felt a lump and wasn't seen for another month. Been told a big bout of chemo is on way. If she's carrying the gene then she will have to have a mastectomy not a lumpectomy. 

 

Im very scared and not sure what to expect 

 

can anyone help with what I'm going to have to go through with my mum? 

 

Many thanks 

 

 

  • Hello, sorry to hear about your mum. There are many women here who are triple neg, and hopefully some will be along soon.

    Treatment has come along in leaps and bounds, please try and stay off dr google, it paints a negative picture and in reality it isn't! 

    So....it's chemo first? I too am awaiting chemo...again don't google it...get the info from the experts and the ladies here...the ones who can advise from personal experience....I know I do....

    funnily enough I too had a mammogram the year before I found my lump...nothing showed up! 

    Your a lovely daughter/ son (?)  trying to prepare the road ahead. You will find comfort here...xxx
