Just been diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer

Hello,

Well I finally found out my diagnosis today. Triple positive breast cancer and they found it in the lymph node biopsy as well. It is just so scary. I've been told I'll have chemotherapy, mastectomy, radiation then more chemotherapy. Probably starting next week. My treatment will take over a year in total. I'm really struggling to be positive with everything ahead of me and I'm so scared it has spread. I have a PET scan next week.

Any advice or similar stories would be useful.

Thanks,

Corinne

                                                                Hello Shazlarr,  There were some difficult points particularly losing my hair during Christmas, losing my implant after my operation and travelling for radiation treatment was very tiring. I was stronger than I though I was and managed to stay positive and even worked part-time during some of the treatment. I had a complete response to chemo which I took as a good sign and started to look to the future. I'm on tamoxifen now and will have lipofilling reconstruction this year. I quite like my hair now. I am based in France but happy to chat if you'd like.
