Mum Diagnosed with Breast Cancer

Hey!

I just wanted to post here as I need a little bit of support and advice.

My mum just got diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. She starts chemo on Friday and they say that she needs to go through chemotherapy for 12 weeks, as well as surgery and radiation. The doctors and nurses have said that they're hopeful and they're looking into cure rather than management.

Has anybody else gone through this and had a good outcome? I'm trying to be positive but currently holding back a breakdown at work.

Thanks!

  • I'm really sorry about your mum's diagnosis Anxious1993.

    These (click here and here) are just two of the discussions already on the forum about triple negative breast cancer so feel free to join in on these or any others you come across as our community are very supportive and will do all that they can to help you at this time.

    Our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to have a chat with them about this as well.

    Wishing your mum all the best with the start of her chemo on Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Hi,

     

    My mum has also recently been diagnosed and is about to go through the same treatment plan. We haven't had a date yet but we know it has spread to lymph nodes, possibly further but we are not sure yet. Here to talk, as I also struggle at work!
