gracie - - triple positive here too, and yes it is scary, the way I was told it was that given surgery only us triple pos girls would have a lower survival rate than someone with what amber would call a 'less badly behaved' cancer. BUT BUT BUT - fling everything at the bastard, - surgery, chemo, rads, herceptin and tamox. and it pulls us right up there into good figures, - and a very good percentage survival rate.
Each element of that five pronged attack increases our percentage chances just that bit more. So definitely worth getting the chemo. They are getting better at treating it all the time, - even since I was DX 4 years ago, I have had friends DX triple pos. who are getting a more refined and improved treatment, - they keep finding things that are that little bit better.
It is scary, my lovely - very scary and you are in such early days that you are still getting over the shock. I felt just as you did, I felt I couldn't look beyond the cancer and there was no point thinking about the future. But those feelings pass, they really do as you get further along the treatment road.
If you are feeling depressed do speak to your consultant, or GP or BCN about it, there are lots of things on offer to help you, - counselling, relaxation classes, anti depressants, or a combination. - It's worth finding out about because if you can manage the emotional side, it will help you through the physical. There is absolutely nothing wrong with feeling depressed or tearful, - I certainly did, and I had counselling and anti depressants, and they helped me get through.
Don't want to make this a huge long message, with a barrage of advice 
but do come on and talk about it whenever you feel it's getting too much, - we've all been there, we've all thought we wouldn't get through the treatment, but somehow you do, bit by bit. And we're all here rooting for you. xx
LJ - lovely to see you - have a great holiday xx
