Ductal Breast Cancer Triple negative Grade 3- help?

I was diagnosed on the 1st of October and I am recovering from mammoplasty and a lumpectomy. I want to make contact with other people who understand. My friends have been great but I feel like I don't really want them to see the down side of me. Being positive all the time is not possible. I feel ok sometimes but I am very frightened of what lies ahead of me. I have cancer in my lymph nodes too so while having the tumour removed was significant .....I don't know where it has spread to.

  •  Hi. I was also diagnosed triple negative grade 3 in July.

    I was 25 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. I had a mastectomy 10 days later and had to wait until my baby was mature enough to be born and to give her a better chance of survival. I was in induced at start of sept at 32 weeks pregnant and gave birth by cesarean section. Lymph nodes have not yet been looked at coz I wS was pregnantI started chemo on 29 sept. I've just received my 2nd chemo. I feel tired for about a week then start to feel better.

    I am scared too but trying to look at things positively and to just get over every hurdle as it hits me. I have a good support of family. Got 4 more sessions of chemo to get through and another op after on my armpit. 

    I'm feeling positive and looking to the future.

    I am 39 and have a lively 3 year old too.

    Whereabouts do you live?

    Xx

     

  • You have been through a lot. I live in the north of scotland. I am positive most of the time then a wave of misery just pushes me under. I know this is because I can't do normal things post surgery and it's only been a week. My husband works away from home and I was dreading this week....getting the kids up and ready for school etc. He has delayed going away for a couple more days and my mum will stay for a couple too. I was on a total downer this morning. How is your baby getting on? X
