Hi there iam 39 yrs old asian nationaliy , November 14 2016 when i see my lumps in my right breast , my 1st ultrasound and mammograms are clear apart of the lumps seen so the Dr ask me for biopsy, had my operation for the lumps, after recovery my pathology report shake my life . It was carcinoma grade 3 tripled negative. Had done a mastectomy and lymnodes detection for peace of mind I decided to do masectomy. Even i got the choice , Dr ask me if i can also do wide range .but radiotherapy makes me scared here in my country bec only one (government Hospital ) so i decided for simple masectomy

The lymnodes is clear . But i undergoing for 6 session of chemo . 2 down 1 more FEC then followed 3 Taxotere its too hard. I cried and praying for.my continously strenght and fighting spirit for my 2 children. BUT SOMETIMES I AM THINKING ABOUT THE TRIPLE NEGATIVE ....OCCURANCE PLS DO HELP ME TO ENCOURAGE AND EDUCATE MYSELF.

    hang in there! Most tnbc are grade 3 but if no lymph involvement you are prob stage 2? Effexr helps with hot flashes and can help you feel less anxiety, maybe talk to your docs about that? Alsi have your vitamin D levels checked...there are some studies about tnbc and vit D. My vit D was at 9 when first checked and healthy range is 45-60! Keep us updated!: )

    Hello,

    Really sorry you found yourself in this position. Please carry out the treatments what doctor has advised. Also do your own research. This is a good site to understand about the disease. Please check with your doctor if you need genetic testing.

    Try to eat healthy food with lots of vegetables.

    Take care

    Nili
