Newly Diagnosed Triple Negative

Hello @hammy1313. I’m sorry. We all understand the whirlwind, and having the great unknown in front of you. I’m glad you found this forum. I would read here almost every night from my diagnosis on and it answered so many of my random questions! It helped me gain strength and determination. “You’ve got this” everyone says … but hearing it said here is much more believable!

There is also an amazing weekly support group where you can ask questions of others going through breast cancer and hear their stories. That gave me courage and a lot of practical advice before my mastectomy. If you can join, I highly recommend that.

Ask anything you want here and everyone is great and so supportive! The doctors explain things one way but it’s so helpful to hear things from actual breast cancer patients.

I wish you all the best with your upcoming surgery and reconstruction and treatments!!!

@hammy1313 I hope this link works. Although it’s called “In Treatment” I found it so helpful before my surgery to attend. I didn’t even realize how much I needed the support until I attended my first one! It truly is an overwhelming time in the beginning and it was really hard to process it all. If only we could be assigned a “mentor” to help us along from the start, to guide us through all the decisions.
