Triple negative breast cancer

So just got diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. They said it's treatable and might need chemo, surgery and maybe radiotherapy. I'm not keen on chemo as seen my brother go through it when he was younger.

anyone going through the same thing and tell me there story? 
I'm only 31 and don't have kids so this is all too much

    Hey Rebecca,

    I'm 37 and got diagnosed HER2 Neg and ER Pos stage2A, Grade2.  We had just started trying for our first child when I found my lump.  I had my lumpectomy on the 12th of last month.  Your consultant needs to tell you everything that you may need to cover all the bases, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll need it all.  My tumour is currently making its was to the states for oncotype testing to determine if I need chemo (I REALLY DON'T WANT CHEMO!) I already know I'll be getting radiotherapy cause I had a lumpectomy.  
    I totally get how you're feeling xx
