Hi. I was diagnosed on July 4th with triple negative breast cancer and things are moving fast. I have to get scans done next week and they will give me a date to start chemo. I presume that the scans are to check the stage of the cancer. I was told that mine is probably contained in the breast but it's still a worry. My consultant said he wanted the chemo started within ten days. I'm not in the UK and opted to be seen privately as there was a waiting list for mammograms but I think once you get a diagnosis things should move quickly.

Hi Lynda - wanted to wish you all the best for your chemo also. Saw your reply and couldn't 'walk past' without a quick shout out to you too. :)

Thank you Vicki - I have found this forum to be very helpful and appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post. Hope everything is going well for you

Hi Lynda

Yes everything is going well and I'm nearly at the end of my chemo journey. It can be done! You will get through this part of your journey. Here to talk if you ever want to.
