Triple negative breast cancer

Hi again.

Has anybody heard triple negative breast cancer? 

This is what I have been diagnosed with. 

Very scared as the treatment options are very limited.

High chance of it returning. Any advice greatly appeciated. 

Thanks

  • I don't know. Yes I'm going to call them tomorrow. This time next week my op will be over and I should be at home resting. 

  •  Sorry about your diagnosis. I was diagnosed in sept 2017 with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer. I had 4 sessions of chemo ment to have 8 but my body couldn’t cope with it. I had a lumpectomy in Jan and now having radiotherapy. Which I finish on fri.Its been a hard struggle and felt like given up a few times but can finally see an end to it.

  • Hi, I know exactly how you feel. I was diagnosed in April. I have TNBC stage 3. I had an MRI too which I’m told also shows a dark area. I’m back to the hospital on Tuesday to see consultant about my treatment plan. I’m booked in to have 2 lymph nodes removed for testing next week. I’m told I will have chemotherapy first. 

    I’ve also been referred to genetic testing which I’m really pleased about. 

    Im just so tired, are you? I was suffering fatigue before but it’s intensified, not sure if it’s reaction.

    my biggest fear isn’t for me it’s my family he they are going to cope. I’m acting extremely positive however it doesn’t leave my mind ever.

    Im seriously going to consider staying off work for a while so I don’t have to worry about that and I do even though they are being amazing. 

    Im 49 years old.

    take care x

  • Hi Suzuki.

    So sorry about your diagnosis.

    looks like you and me will be in the same boat for this journey. Grade 3 TNBC also. No stage yet!

    yes I am very positive too about my diagnosis. I also feel so tired everything is an effort and fatigue awful. I’m still working to give me some sort of normality. 

    I am sitting outside Hospital for my 2nd byopsy and ultra sound on my lymph node this morning. I haven’t told my children yet nor my parents as waiting for treatment plan. I feel having all the information will be better. I wish I could hide it from my son who is starting his GCSEs today but will try to delay as much as I can. My consultant also said about genetic testing but nothing scheduled yet. Still waiting for my MRI which has now been 2 weeks. I’m glad you are discussing treatment plan. Good luck and let me know what you decide. 

  • Hi. This is my first time on here. I had a mammogram last October and they found a cancerous lump. I chose to have a mastectomy  in December. I have just been back for my results.I had triple negative bready cancer but it hadn't gone to my lymph nodes. My lump was 18mm. I'm now waiting to see the Oncologist. I'm very anxious. The waiting is horrible.
