Sister diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer

Hello

My sister was in remission from breast cancer for 14 years until this week when she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in her other breast. One of her lymph nodes is positive. My sister is distraught as are me and my other sisters. I feel that we cannot be so lucky for her to beat it again. I just need to hear positive stories that she can beat this again. Thank you for reading 

  • Welcome to the forum Karbritt although I'm really sorry to hear your sister has been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer after being in remission for 14 years.

    This must have been devastating news to receive but I'm glad you've reached out to us as many of our members have been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer or supported family and/or friends on their journeys with this diagnosis, so you are not alone Karbritt and hopefully you'll get to hear some positive stories from the community soon.

    In the meantime, if you or your sisters would like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you and answer any other questions you may have about triple negative breast cancer.

    We're thinking of you Karbritt and sending all our support to you and your sisters at this very difficult time.

    Kind regards,
