Triple negative breast cancer

Just found out that I have that thing that people don't like to talk about.My emotions are all over the place .Waiting for the final results whether it has spread.

  • Hello Percivn, 

    I'm sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. It's understandable that your emotions are all over the place at the moment but you are not alone. Many members here that have been diagnosed with breast cancer, or other types of cancer, will know how you feel right now and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice. I have included some information about cancer and emotions from our website which may help at this time as well.

    Do you have a date for when you find out the final results? I hope you don't have to wait too long and hope that the results shows that the cancer hasn't spread. 

    Come back and let us know what happens if you can Percivn, we'll be thinking of you.

    Best wishes,

  • Hi, I had the bone scan and Ct scan .The cancer hasn't spread to the bones and there is a couple of cysts in the liver that their checking with a MRI .Final consultation given so full results .I start chemo next week .I was asked to be part of a trial and delay by two weeks but although feeling guilty emotionally I can't wait.Thanks for the articles they were useful .I keep getting angry and crying for no reason.Felt hemmed in and thinking that my life is on hold whilst others life goes on.

  • Hi percivn,

    All the feelings you are experiencing are normal. It will feel like an emotional rollercoaster which you can't get off. But you will surprise yourself at how well you will cope.

    I was diagnosed with TNBC last August and I was devastated. But I am now coming to the end of my treatment, I only have a couple of weeks left to go.

    This forum is a good place for advice, support or for just discussing your feelings. There are lots of people willing to help.

    Best wishes
