Looking for Others with Similar Breast Cancer Diagnosis

I was diagnosed july 31st with the same and I got my port yesterday and started chemo today. I will keep you in my prayers

Wow krystel. Thank you for responding I was beginning to think I was alone on an island. Wow! They’re moving very quickly with you. That is so great! Stop it in its tracks! I am so tired of waiting knowing this is growing everyday May I ask what treatment plan is? I hope you feel well and continue to Prayers your way. May we keep in touch? Thanks again and best wishes and prayers for you 🩷

Hello Denise Ditto - I’m similar - grade 3 TNBC - one of the rarest. It’s a long journey but you’ll be fine. I’m in the UK so there’s a time difference so I’m sorry reply isn’t as speedy as I’d have liked it to be especially if you’re worried. Take every day at a time - just don’t worry about all ‘the next stages’ because it really is like a book turning another page daily. There are a lot of twists and turns some good some bad but you have to go through them all to get to the Eureka moment you know that you’re on top of it. There’s a lot if info so I won’t bog you down at this stage but do ask if there’s anything in particular and I’ll / we’ll do our best to guide / offer support. I was diagnosed last Oct 2023 so am well down the line & hopefully got answers to some of your questions so please don’t hesitate. Sending you love and light and a hug. It’s scary but it’s beatable. Just tell your body it can do it and importantly you have to believe it. Slow down. Look after you. Get out into nature. Build a recovery nest at home, your bedroom or your sitting room, so you have somewhere that is your ‘get better sanctuary’ where you feel safe and can crash at any time. Sending positive vibes ❤️

Hello Krystel Hope your chemo was ok. First day always unnerving…..sending love and positive vibes xxx

I have TNBC but am stage 2b. I just wanted to share that there is a Facebook group with the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation that has tremendous insight, and you’ll find many who have walked your upcoming journey.

Not sure if the link is sharing properly, but you can search for Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation

Hi Denise, I’m stage 3 TNBC too- halfway through treatment. Agree with A E….take one day at a time and take care of yourself. Prayers for strength during this life journey. We can do this!!

Bless you too Angela C, I’m through the other end now and going through immuno (Pembro) you can and you will both make it through as well & absolutely thrive afterwards ❤️

AE. Thank you so much for your kind words and insight. Yes one day at a time. I am emotionally and mentally exhausted and treatment hasn’t even started yet I have my young adult son living with me otherwise I’m on my own it’s rough. Right now it’s just jumping through their hoops and trying to handle my insurance company ( they’re trying to cancel my policy). The stress is unreal. Thank you for letting me rant. 😊 Blessings and prayers your way Continue healing ❤️‍🩹

Hi Denise… hang in there .. praying for you!!❤️🙏🏾

Angela. Thank you. Yes I’m trying to stay focused on one day at a time. Prayers and grace and healing your way 🩷. Yes! We got this!

Deborah. Thank you 🩷

Same boat but about a year ahead. In the immunotherapy and Xeloda (oral chemo) phase (post iv chemo, unilateral mastectomy, radiation) and I agree with everything everyone here said… www.tnbcthrivers.org is the support group, community, that has helped me feel less alone. Every time I join a Zoom group there’s someone who’s going through or has been through the, what I think is weird and horrible and unheard of, thing that I’m going through. There’s a community out there. We’re here. This all sucks… keep going.

You're connecting with a community that truly understands the unique challenges of triple-negative breast cancer, and many members here have walked similar paths with stage 3, grade 3, and node-positive diagnoses. This community is filled with people who can share their experiences about treatment approaches, managing side effects, and navigating the emotional aspects of this journey. The knowledge and support you'll find here from others who have faced similar diagnoses can be incredibly valuable as you move forward with your treatment plan.
