Scared
It's been 6 months since ending treatment for Triple Negative Breast cancer. I was just told today that I am stage 4. It's in lymph nodes in my chest and on my diaphragm. I am 32 with a loving husband and 2 wonderful boys(3 and 7). I should be planning for a new port and once we hear back from a special group I should start on my new custom chemo. Anyone know of good facebook groups I could join?

Hi, I am new to this forum - unfortunately just diagnosed with lung mets after a 5 year fight with TNBC. Like you I've been looking for some support groups especially on FB but I can't seem to find much. TNBC is so hard to deal with and getting told you are Stage IV is a punch to the stomach.
I'm an expat (originally a Brit) living in Malaysia with my lovely husband and kids aged 8 and 10. They have only known my life with breast cancer and that really makes me sad. I've been through 2 lots of chemo in 2011 and 2013 and now it seems there are no definitive answers. I'm starting on Xeloda today because I want to go home to the UK for Christmas and it seems the most flexible regimen. I'm trying to stay positive but it's hard. There seems to be a lot of trials out there - my husband is convinced that immunotherapy is going to be the 'cure'! It's so positive that there are lots of things in the drug pipeline for TNBC - many more than when I was first diagnosed in 2011. We just have to hang on in there right?!!
It would be really great if I could stay in touch with you ladies. It's a lonely place when you have MBC and nobody else really understands.
Sending all of you positive vibes!
