    I to also have triple negative, initially they thought it was hormone positive but after my surgery and lymph biopsy we found out. 

    I started chemo yesterday consultant said I would have 6 sessions every 3 weeks then weekly for 3 weeks 4th week off x3 followed by 10 days of radiotherapy. When I started yesterday the nurse said first bit was wrong it is 6 but over 3 sessions.

    Oncology will tell you what you will be getting after it's been discussed at your mdt meeting.
