Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Hi there,

Just wondering if there's anyone on here having treatment for triple negative breast cancer? 
 

I only found yesterday I had it and I'm still awaiting scans and a treatment plan. The lymph node under my arm is swollen as is my tonsil on the same side. I've also got a lot of pain in my shoulder, arm and back and was wondering if this is normal? 
 

I'm really frightened I'm trying to be brave for my husband and kids but I'm so so scared. I have no optimism of getting through this I've convinced myself this is a death sentence and I don't know how to change my thought process.

    since November 2020 id been back a forth to the breast clinic with benign cysts but I kept having an awfful feeling something wasnt right .

    Then the end of November 2020 i felt a lump in righr breast thought it was another cyst no BC 

    Im having chemo with herceptin for 5 mths you will probably be the same but not with herceptin

    when is your oncology appt you need a good treatment plan 

    im very stressed i cant even move from my bed ps  dont be brave youve got to be really selfish now and stopp being the giver

    you should be top priority in the NHS im in BUPA so was having chemo in three weeks this is ridiculous post me privately if you wish
