I am from Akron Ohio and was diagnosed last year with Stage IIB tnbc. I also had ACT chemo but opted for a mastectomy to avoid the radiation. How are you doing now?

What an amazing person Andy is to go through what he went through to be a donor. Best.

I just read about your micrometastasis found in your node after surgery. Did you have neoadjuvant chemo before surgery?

I too am a Stage IIB Triple Negative. I will have my third round of chemo on Wednesday. After that three more to go. I am planning a double mastectomy as well.

Hello. I adore your photo. Sorry for what brings you here to whatnext but you won't find a better site. I'm 45 and my diagnosed at 44 with stage 3 uterine cancer. My daughter was 12. Your photo touched me as I feel the same about her future. Being advocate in her care and others. Thank you for sharing and wish you the best of luck!!

Welcome! I love the photo. I'm sorry that you are going through this, but you are not alone. I also live in Dublin. I was diagnosed almost 4 years ago with stage Ic triple positive. I had a bilateral mastectomy, 8 rounds of chemo and 1 year of Herceptin. I know how scary this is. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need anything.

Welcome! Love your photo. I am a Breast cancer survivor. Finished my chemo and radiation 1 yr ago. I was told I am in remission in June 2014. Had a rough time and lots of bad side effects. Still trying to work through side effects. I had 4 surgeries, chemo and radiation all in 1 1/2 yrs. I have seen 38 different dr's. None of this is easy. If you ever want to chat and talk about your treatment or ask me anything about my treatment, please feel free I am a good listener and open to talking. Sending you prayers. Hugs, Tina (40 yrs old, live in South Bend Indiana)
