Hi ladies I had triple negative stage two I did the chemo. I called it red devil and then I did the chemo once a week for 12 weeks then I waited a month and I had my surgery. I did bilateral mastectomy with no reconstructive surgery. I didn’t have to do radiation I wasn’t put on any pills I am now in my 10th year remission and I’m doing good. Sometimes my hand do tingle every once in a while my chest tightens up, but I don’t have any other problems. I am doing very well.

Thank you for sharing this encouraging update about your 10-year journey. Many survivors in this community will find hope in hearing about your positive experience and current well-being. The symptoms you mention, like occasional tingling and chest tightness, are experiences that other long-term survivors might relate to and could benefit from discussing with their healthcare teams. Your post opens an important conversation about life after treatment that could help others who are earlier in their journey or approaching similar milestones.

Interesting. Glad you are well. My triple negative had a reverse protocol Did the weekly 12 chemos and then started red devil etc. Have done 2 out of four. Cold capped which kept half of hair for the first 12 chemos but bald now. Surgery after chemo done. Did they recommend bilateral mastectomy?

Gail J No my doctor didn’t recommend bilateral mastectomy, l told the doctor that’s what l wanted and he was good with my decision. I did bilateral mastectomy because l needed to feel comfortable and l did this surgery for my peace of mind, you have to do what’s best for you and you have to be at peace on what you chose for yourself.💕
