36 newly diagnosed with TNBC. Chemotherapy next week

Hi i am new here,

Recently diagnosed with TNBC and terrified of what is ahead. I have just had my egg retrieval op as i know the treatment can damage fertility.

I am due to have a picc line in next week and chemotherapy.

I am terrified the gp wouldnt refer me for a month as they thought it was hormones and even after an ultrasound it was assumed that my lump was benign. It was only after a biopsy i was diagnosed.

Please could i ask if anyone has got any advice or tips x

Hi @pinksara I’m so sorry that you have to join us here on the forum but you will get plenty of support. I can’t give you personal advice as I am a lot older than you, had a different type of breast cancer and didn’t have chemo HOWEVER I would like to suggest that you join the August chemo starters thread, which can be found here August 2026 chemo starters and also alert you to a category especially for younger women which can be found here Younger women - Breast Cancer Now forum . I wish you every success in your treatment path.
