Hi Paulap 

welcome to the chats I have found them very useful! I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in December 2017 and to be honest had never heard of it before. I was given a lumpectomy in January 2018 and then EC chemotherapy and then Paclitaxel chemotherapy. Then 15 sessions of Radiotherapy. To be honest the chemotherapy wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, the fatigue was probably the worst thing. I did lose my hair but it's now grown back as it was. The worst bit is the waiting but you will be in good hands now.

hi suri 

 thanks for your reply much appreciated ! it is certainly the waiting and not knowing what plan is quicker know can accept and get through it eh ? what made the decision to give chemo ? it says likely with this kind just wondered if most people did with this type sounds like they have. 

glad to hear your treatment went well it's the positive story's that help

Hi Paulap

when I saw my consultant he informed me that with triple negative breast cancer they usually go down the chemotherapy route as there is no definite cause of the cancer, not hormone fed, or protein, or BRAC gene. I think they will probably say the same to you, but I had to wait until February to start then I had infusions every 3 weeks. 
let me know how you get on!
