Hi ladies - any updates welcome from TN ladies, paricularly any with very small tumours would be welcome. I’ve just done Rad no 8 out of 20 and feel so wobbly today. How are you all doing? What changes have you made in your diet? I can’t seem to find many ladies to talk to with TN. Thanks (PS. Downbutnotout, are you there?) x
Hi CatherineJ,

Hi, I’m new to forum. Been on a Rollercoaster since diagnosis early Feb. Currently Half way through chemo. Was diagnosed at 33 weeks pregnant, baby delivered at 35+4 weeks, CT scan day after (getting off that bench a day after c-section was ‘interesting’!), two lymph out a week later and 1st chemo a week after that. My last chemo (third and final Fec before starting T) knocked me for six. Each dose has been different and I’m hoping my first T will be positively different again. Luckily this is my second baby so I know the score, and aren’t too stressed by crying and all the trappings of a newborn.Having to bottle feed has been the biggest sadness for me, as I loved breastfeeding my first child and we had an awesome maternity year with nothing holding us back. This maternity year experience has to unfortunately be virtually the opposite in every way
Anyhow that’s my story, keen to hear from other TN peeps.
Hi Catherine,
i have triple negative (grade 3 invasive), 27mm. I have recently (3 weeks ago) had lumpectomy and node biopsy. Nodes and margins were clear. I am recovering well although needing more rest than I anticipated! Now awaiting oncology discussion. Beginning to worry about that and whether chemo is involved and decisions about that. Eating a lot of fruit and veg etc. Getting reiki/reflexology regularly. Following breast cancer recovery exercises on yoopod.com as well as ones from breast cancer care. Walking dog regularly with aid of dog lead attached to belt - this works well.
Hi ladies
how are you all doing? I’ve just been diagnosed and reeling from the shock of it. Am 56 years old and otherwise have been fine but can’t believe this is happening. Told today that like
y plan is for chemo first but still not sure. Would be good to talk to anyone who has been there / is still there
