Lots of medical issues this year starting with gallstones. During that emergency visit they also found a mass on liver. After gallbladder surgery and more imaging the mass is actually in my adrenal gland. Urine/blood tests show no hormone changes from tumor but doc rec's removal. Then my lymph nodes on R armpit swelled up. Scheduled diagnostic mammogram, had regular breast exam with nothing found in my dense breast tissue. Mammo shows nothing so the doc recommends biopsy of lymph nodes. Night before biopsy I found a large lump in my breast. So the biopsied both areas and found cancer in both, diagnosed June 21. SCCA immediately got me in the next day with oncologist and many other appointments. Stage III triple negative, have appt for PET scan, had breast mRI, getting ECHo and will start AC chemo likely july 2. It's been really fast so far and I'm glad to not have to wait. Still reeling from the whole thing. Still don't know if my adrenal gland mass is cancer as that surgery is now delayed. Unsure if I will need mastectomy at this point but I'm guessing i will

    I'm so sorry you are going through all of this. I was recently diagnosed with stage II triple negative. So far all my other tests have come back negative. I start chemo tomorrow.

    I hope all of your additional tests are negative
