Joining the Triple Negative Forum

Hi Ladies - I've posted a few times over the last few months during my diagnostic phase, but thought I would like to joint this forum now since I am also triple negative.  I am in the midst of my treatment, just recovering from a single mastectomy with nipple sparing reconstruction (am being treated at Johns Hopkins, and it's a 2 hour drive each way, but I think it's worth it as we have no local breast center where I live.)  I have no children, but a wonderful supportive husband.  For some reason I'm crying like crazy as I'm typing this.  I seem to have some days where I know that most women, (even us TN) beat this disease.  But then I have a day (like today) where I feel like I will for sure be in the other category. Anyway, I should get my drain out this Friday and will probably get a little more saline in my TE.  I don't need radiation!  I'm not quite sure why I didn't have the chemo first before the surgery (I've only read about this recently), but my doc said this was the best plan for me. I trust him so I guess that's all that matters at this point.  I plan to go back to work next Wednesday (assuming my drain comes out.)  So life will hopefully get back to something other than sitting at home feeling sorry for myself.  I am an awful Dr. Google person, and am really trying to swear off of that habit. But I thought at least posting here would be helpful in sharing with others who are having the same feelings and treatments, as well as encouragement from others who are years out and enjoying life.  Oh, and Friday I also meet with the wig folks, that should be a treat   I'm sure I'll cry through the whole appointment. Thank God for my strong husband.  I've read probably everything there is about this disease, and TN in particular, and know I have a very good chance of beating this.  But sometimes like today, it's like, damn it, this wasn't supposed to be me.  BTW I met someone else thru this forum that lives near me and we've connected thru PM so that was most helpful!
