edited April 2018 in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

I started getting all my test results back bone scan clear, ct scan good, EKG and echo good. My onco surgeon nurse has call me within 2 days after each test. Today we were laughing that I have come to the point that I am glad that I am triple neg breast cancer grade 3 positive IDC and can get a port next week and begin chemo and not have any of other issues that I have let my imagination run with during the last 1 1/2 weeks. I am blessed to have some amazing doctors and family. I know I have a huge battle ahead with hope and a prayer I will make it.

    Yay for clear scans! That is HUGE! Once you get started on chemo you should hopefully be able to relax a little, as weird as that sounds.

    llupp- What a wonderful perspective you are taking. It's a whole lot of mental practice to get use to all these and find the silver lining. Do you mind me asking the size of your tumor and age?

    I was recently diagnosed triple neg IDC grade 3. It's interesting to read about the different steps that are taken by various healthcare providers. I went in for lumpectomy on Wednesday. My onco plans to do PET scan, but thats as far as it goes with imagine. At least the I know of. I'm slated to start chemo in about 3 weeks.
