Hi.  I have also been diagnosed with triple negative BC.  I have had a lumpectomy and a couple of lymph nodes taken.  Mine has been caught very early and hasn’t spread to lymph nodes. I’ve been told that it’s very treatable.   I will be starting chemo soon and radiotherapy.  In the hospital that I attend there is Macmillan Room that you can visit Monday to Friday for a cuppa and chat.    I’m going to mine on Tuesday as I’ve been told they are very supportive and can give you lots of information.  Hope you’ve got one near you.  Best wishes.

Hi Mau79,

A very warm welcome to our forum too.

Again, I am sorry to hear that you have been given a Triple Negative diagnosis. I am glad to hear that you have already discovered the Macmillan room at your hospital and I am sure that you will very soon realise the benefit of visiting there. It really does help to talk to others, who are going through the same emotions as yourself.

I am delighted to hear that your lymph nodes are clear and that your treatment is due to start soon. Here's hoping that it all goes well. Please keep in touch and remember, that there is always someone here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you so much it’s good to be on this forum x

Hi Mau,

You'll find this forum invaluable. I see elsewhere, that you're worried about where to get a wig. As Pippin suggested, do ask your Oncology team about the best suppliers. You should also get a voucher from them, towards the cost of same. I don't know whether or not you've noticed, but I've already accepted your request.

Kind regards,

Thank you I’m going to Macmillan centre at the hospital on Tuesday so will ask them.

Hi Mau,

You may also find that some of the other people there have experience of buying wigs and can give you some practical advice.

Kind regards,
