Newly diagnosed TNBC and scared

Was diagnosed on Friday and still feels like a dream I'll wake up from. Any advice appreciated. ️

  • Hi,

    I was also diagnosed with TNBC back in March so I understand what your going through. Waiting for test results and the not knowing was awful. Mine is stage 3, luckily the CT scan showed it hadn't spread into my bones or other organs. My treatment plan involves chemo/immunotherapy and surgery. I started treatment today. All I can say is if your struggling, unable to eat, sleep etc speak to your doctor, I got anxiety tablets and they really helped me. The breast care nurses having given amazing support, always there to answer any questions or there if you need to talk. Immunotherapy along side chemo to treat breast cancer has only been offered at my hospital since this year so this maybe something you could be offered as it's been a big success in trials for TNBC. I wish you all the best with your treatment xx
