Triple negative diagnosis - concerned treatment starting too late

Hi - my mum was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer on the 8th December but is not due to start her chemo until 24th January - I am concerned that as this a very aggressive cancer and already in 2 nodes under her arm that this is a long time she has been waiting. Did anyone else wait 6 weeks for chemo? Sadly she didn’t tell us until two weeks ago so couldn’t help her to try and get treatment sooner. She was unfortunate with Christmas time in between. I am not sure why it has taken so long though. She only had her MRI last week (the 18th jan) and no CT yet to see if it has spread. Absolutely terrified of what’s to come - anyone had a similar experience - thanks in advance

  • Hi Carol - thanks for your message / she’s had three chemo sessions now they are happening every week. So far she is ok. Some side effects but she is coping very well. Still no CT scan to speak of yet and so our anxiety over whether it has spread elsewhere continues to grow. My sister has also now been referred for a hard lump which she has found as well as rash.
