I suppose I'm still in some kind of shock. I feel fine actually but at the same time I feel like the rug has been pulled from underneath me.
I feel very lucky because I have a break in work and that was the only reason why I bothered contacting my GP about a small lump. Had no other symptoms.
Had a mammogram and ultrasound and was surprised I was told they wanted to do a Biopsie as well.
And yesterday I received the diagnosis.
It's grade 3 but I don't yet know what stage. I'm off to have an MRI done in an hour.
As I said, I feel very lucky that I had it checked out when I did. I also have a supportive husband, and two supportive (young adult) children, 22 and 24,
But obviously I'm also worried. My life will totally change. Hopefully only for the next year. The consultant told me I'll likely have 6 months of chemo and then surgery, and I should expect for all the treatment to take 1 year.
I work freelance and am the main breadwinner so the money side does worry me.
But not as much as the prospect of chemo.
I was wondering if anybody else has had triple negative breast cancer and can share any experiences re chemo
