  • I was diagnosed with breast cancer very recently at Waterford hospital and this video is about my journey to get diagnosed. If you have triple-negative breast cancer or are a triple-negative breast cancer survivor, I would be very interested in connecting with you. I am going to fight this and recover fast. I intend on it.
    If you are worried that you may have abnormalities if your own breasts, please do get yourself checked asap. I am not trying to worry anyone, it is best to be safe and catch cancer early. x

    I have the same triple negative cancer stage 2 and under my arm nodes. You will be fine. We will have to go thru a bunch of crap but will be just fine. Try with everything you have only speak and think positive. Especially when you go through chemo. Tell yourself that this isn’t that bad and it won’t be that bad. Surround yourself with positive loving people. Without getting really religious with you… this has really tested my trust with God. But now that he is the one in control not you. And God wants good things for you if this is what you want. Trust in him. If this helps I call myself with RUclips healing meditation on my iPad next to my pillow. But here’s the bottom line… YOU ARE GONNA BE JUST FINE. Believe that and you will be

      No. don't think that way. i had TNBC. Stage 3b. my tumour was 7.5cm ... did 6 months of chemo to shrink the tumour then surgery full mastectomy. they found 16 lymph nodes. no cancer in any nodes. ... then i had 5 weeks of radiation. i was 50 yrs old when i was diagnosed. i will be 63-yrs old my next birthday in August! Please. Don't worry. TNBC responds beautifully to chemo. it wipes it out. take good care. xo

    So sorry to hear this Klara, hope it is sorted in the fastest possible time. It’s an awful thing to be told, but I’m sure you’ve googled that things are much more advanced in treatment terms & so the prognosis is so much better than most are often aware.
    I had a small sense of what it must be like in my 30’s when I found a small lump, but I was fortunate in that it was just a cyst, like your mum
    You’re the second woman I’ve known in the last month that’s had this diagnosis (the other lady has it on her ovaries) sadly. And you’re absolutely spot on that we need to always be giving ourselves the once over (we do that with cars & yet we ignore our own bodies!)
    I send my strongest healing prayers for you, you’re fantastic for opening up about it for others to listen, and get help from

    My wife has TNBC, telling you what she has gone through so far I find would be unhelpful. Some people take chemo and it completely goes away and some people it will not work on. I would say if we could go back in time when they found it we would have her do radiation as the very first step and then the mastectomy. TNBC grows extremely fast, I'd recommend when a doctor sets up an appointment that's seemingly a while away ask for an earlier one. I can have her speak to you if you want.

      @@KlaraMcDonnell I'm sorry to report back my wife of 6 years partner of ten passed away on 12/21/19. The cancer had spread to her lungs and and virtually exhausted her body and it's ability to produce oxygen naturally. She underwent about 3 separate treatments to no avail but the cabozantinib and atezolizumab did ultimately stop the progression but it took weeks of time she did not have to completely heal her. She was a one in a million case, her main oncologist had been practicing for 50 plus years and had never seen such a resistant strain of TNBC. Everyone we had consulted with was utterly flabbergasted at how it kept spreading and resisting all medications. She fought the long hard fight and wanted me to help any woman in need fighting this god awful subtype of breast cancer. I'm no medical doctor but can probably tell you anything and everything you could ever want to know about TNBC so anyone fighting this god awful disease who needs that extra support I would love to answer your questions, give tips and tricks, or let you know things that we tried that maybe aren't mainstream or traditional methods in treating TNBC. Also id be glad to relay information to any family members of the person fighting cancer. I know it would have helped tremendously to talk to someone who wasn't as cold as a doctor can sometimes be .

      Hi again I felt the same i wanted to find support but I never found too many in my exact situation you soon learn way too much about breast cancer there are many different types the treatments very considerably. Even within triple neg there are many subtypes. I highly recommend viewing RUclips “the cancer guy” he is a geneticist who specialises in cancer treatments and runs a screening company. He recently released a video on the lastest tnbc treatments which explains really well how our cancer is so different to treat. There is a lot of new stuff going in research and it gives a lot of hope moving forward. I found doing yoga and meditation very useful it can become very overwhelming. Don’t delay treatments for any reason it appears to make all the difference which may be a big deal if you are considering egg harvesting. Cheers Annie x
