    What fantastic news! I'm sure it was a great relief to hear that the cancer is contained within your breast and that they are going forwards with treatment with the aim to cure. 

    There are many women who have posted here on the forum who have successfully been through treatment for triple-negative breast cancer. Hopefully, some of them will post to share their stories with you but if you use the forum search function to look for TNBC  or triple negative you'll see lots of posts that you can read through.  You might also like to have a look at the TNBC group on the Macmillan forum

    I know that it's been a difficult few weeks for you since diagnosis Justathena and it's understandable that you have concerns and questions about the treatment plan that the team is suggesting for you. Do lean on your BCN and contact her to talk things through if you're worried. Alternatively, you can call our team of nurses to chat things through. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support that they can as well as help you think about some of the questions you might want to ask at your next appointment. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040.  

    Keep leaning on family and friends for support and posting here on the forum as well as I know a lot of members have replied to share their stories and advice with you over the past few weeks. I'm sure that those around you both in person and online will do all they can to support you in these next steps of your journey.
