Triple negative breast cancer

How do you tell family about this diagnosis without worrying them about what could mean for them but also keep them informed?

  • Hi Kirsty 

    Sorry for jumping on your post, I’m also in Scotland, is things moving quickly for you ? I expected my treatment plan last Thursday however something else has shown up so  CT scan yesterday, I’d just got my head around knowing the treatment plan Thursday but now a delay until CT and another biopsy results are in. I’ve been told nothing is likely to start before March, beside myself waiting ! X

  • Dianedoc1 I am sorry to hear about your setbacks  that must be difficult to deal with. A similar situation happened to a friend of mine, she was all ready for her treatment when they found something unexpected on the scan.I took a bit of time to re program and wait for the new surgery date.

    Take a deep breath, be kind to yourself, you will get there perhaps a bit later than you hoped but in time this will be behind you.

    I hope everything gets back on track for you.x

  • Thank you !! It just helps I think to ask/write and know you’re not alone. 

    Hope your friends unexpected something turned out to be a nothing and able to treat the primary source. 

    Good luck with your treatment xx
