Hi,

triple neg isn’t a death sentence, if the doctors are looking to cure then cure it is. I know plenty of ladies with triple neg and they are living long lives. The internet only seems to give worse case stats, it never tell you all the good news about how many survivors there are out there.

while admittedly triple neg has fewer targeted therapies and is a “tough” one your mum will be monitored closely, if anything crops up it will be spotted and dealt with ..

I know it’s hard but take heed from the doctors, try not to google…it will only drive you nuts xxx

Hi Smithy94, 

My mum was diagnosed in Feb last year with TNBC. My advise to you is to not look into what the internet says as its mostly generic infomration you’ll find. Each case is unique and best handled by the team looking after your mother. 

I know its a very worrisome time and your just trying to find the right answers, i went through it too. The most important thing is to leave her care in the hands of her doctors, keep your mum positive and supported and make sure she takes plenty of vitamin rich food especially vitamin C & D as this will help her through her treatment. 
Make sure you check with her onchologist or hospital pharmacist if she can have supplements as they may interact adversely with her medication. 

Take her to the park and for walks when shes feeling a bit better and avoid oily/spicy food.

I know every case is different, but just take it a day at a time, and remember to also take care of yourself aswell. Ill be happy to help if you want a chat. 

Sending you hugs xx

Hey, I have a journal that I started when I was diagnosed, right through to now. I have beaten this awful curse, still having radiotherapy as a precaution. 

I will seal it once that’s done in March and go back to it in a few years to see my ramblings, like others have said Google doesn’t  tell all the facts everyone has their own battle, all the best xxxx
