I have been diagnosed this week after finding a lump. Im really scared that this is the end for me as I've read it's one of the worst breast cancers to have. Anyone had this type and can reassure me?
Hi! I was diagnosed end of March with the same and lymph node involvement..super scary and I too was convinced I only had months to live especially whilst waiting for scans - I've been told this is very common and the team helped me negate those thoughts...6 months on and I have now finished chemo and pending a small op in October! The chemo has shrunk my lump so much they can no longer see it on scans so that's positive! None of my Drs have talked negatively about this type of cancer , yes it has a higher chance of coming back but there are also many people this doesn't reoccur for and this cancer is very treatable! Lots of appointments ahead but you will be in the best care - side effects for chemo have been minimal for me , I have lost my hair but I rock a great wig! You will do do this and tackle anything that occurs!! There is a useful Facebook group called Triple Negative breast cancer survivors if you are on Facebook - I didn't join until recently when I felt ready but there are many positive stories on there Wishing you all the best xx
