It is so fitting that there are meteors shooting across the sky. If we were living hundreds of years ago they would have been a sure sign of Jane's moving on. As it is...we know 🙂

I have just realised that that post of Jane's must refer to me!I had posted a bit further up the page and mentioned being out the other side There will always be a glass for Casey wherever we are and when we gather at TOO's bunkhouse as we surely will, we will look out to where the railroad disappears over the horizon and we'll listen for the whistle knowing she is riding on.

Here's another coming back to join hands and remember our dear Jane through the years we have stayed together and she is the first of us steam ahead to whatever lies past Determination, beyond Normality.There's one certainty-we'll all join her there one day and yes dear Casey-Jane it was one hell of a party.We'll keep the campfire burning love.TOOxx

Jane, who was a member here from,I think 2008, died this morning.She was a wonderful lady who was perhaps best known for her contributions to the 'Storm Riders to Determination' thread.She died from cancers of the lungs/brain apparently unrelated to her bc.
God Speed dear Jane-we will always remember you.
My condolences to all Jane's family and friends.

No secret mandy just lucky but it is important for all tnbc people to know that it is not a death sentence.Remember that triple/double positive bc can recur after many many years [20+ sometimes] whereas current thinking is that if tnbc does not recur in the first 5 years post dx then recurrence is much less likely than for a similar stage positive bc.If tnbc does not recur in 8 years then there is research that says it is cured! [I used to be able to link to the study which is Canadian].
Tnbc usually responds well to chemo and it is an area where the taxols-taxotere etc have been particularly beneficial.Like with all cancers the fewer lymph nodes involved the better though I know ladies with multiple node involvement still well 4/5 years down the line.It is more aggressive than +++ bc for the first 2/3 years but get past that and there is an excellent chance of complete recovery.
Good Luck all of you x

I still have numb toes and my treatment finished in 2007! Nothing to do but live with it.I have no eyebrows either 🙂 The neuropathy does affect the distance I can walk but it doesn't have a huge impact on my life.Good Luck

I second the Armoury in June.We need to decide on a Saturday that suits everyone.I can do the 1st,17th, 22nd or 29th but not the 8th. Once we have a date and an approximate number I am happy to book. It would be lovely to meet you Denise and to see the rest of you again.
I'll keep checking for updates-can someone pm Harp and Di as they may not be here regularly now.
Cheers

I'm not sure what to bring-sweet or savoury. Suggestions very welcome or I could bring a lemon drizzle cake to have with coffee or as an alternative pud. My other thought was a selection of cheese and some grapes. I am childminding all afternoon today and invigilating tomorrow morning so not much time. Does anyone need a lift from this end?

If you change your mind hamley I would be delighted to pick you up at the station in Wem and give you a lift.It can be a bit nerve wracking to drive at night on the little roads.

May I just say dont Google triple neg 🙂
Most of the information is out of date.
There are two main positives about tnbc.First it is usually very susceptible to chemo, especially taxotere. Secondly,if you are still recurrence free 8 years after a tn dx you are considered 'cured' which is never the case with positive bc.
It is a rather aggressive cancer but these days it can be dealt with.
