Sorry if you felt pee’d off with my thread title (I’ve changed it!) - I’m not in your position so don’t know how it feels. Didn’t mean to cause offence but thanks for being so honest. I enjoy reading your posts, they keep me realistic and I find you’re views refreshingly honest from someone who knows - rather than that annoying question ‘ARE YOU IN REMISSION?’ I kinda expect never to get that lovely titlte but have researched a bit into triple negative cancer and found the same as you so I’m just hoping for the best possible outcome.
Hi there - haven’t dropped in on the forums for absolutely ages, the urge just came to me. I too am triple negative. Diagnosed in December 2002 just before my 41st birthday. Lump was 3.5 cm (grade 3) - downsized to 1.6 cm at pathology, the remainder being some sort of reaction which caused damage to the surrounding tissue. No nodes involved, I was part of a trial and given 4 cycles of FEC and 4 of Docetaxel (not sure if it’s the same as Taxotere) followed by 26 cycles of radiotherapy. Treatment ended late September in 2003 so now 5 years down the road with no evidence of disease.
Had many aches, pains and anxious moments over the years. Can honestly say that it’s only now that I seem to have exhausted having every minor ailment tested in case it’s a possible spread, that I can finally relax (cautiously) and get on with living. I know that I am exceptionally fortunate, as I have lost several fabulous friends along the way.
