TNBC reminds me I am not alone.... even though feeling far away. And that I have friends out there who really do understand where I am at now. And where I would like to be in the future NED!

When I first went to the doctor and received the dx of TNBC, I was so scared and drove home crying. Everything that made me happy also made me sad. I felt that I couldn't talk to anyone about what I was going through because they wouldn't understand so I told very few people I had it. But being so scared with no one to talk to, I found this site and everyone's insight and comforting posts made accepting my cancer much easier. Everyone's support made me a much stronger person with the will to fight.

Triple-stars for the TNBC Foundation website and forum!! It's been an invaluable resource for me during this unwanted journey. The forum has been absolutely incredible. I really don't know what I would be doing without it - and these amazing warrior women I have had the pleasure in "e-meeting." The website is also filled with insightful tools and patient-friendly. I am also grateful for the suggested questions to ask all of your doctors - they have been enlightening, educational and much-needed.

I found this forum almost a year after it started and 5 years after my diagnosis. It was great to have a better understanding of my particular cancer, with others in the same boat. It was nice to be able to give hope and give back to those newly dx.

The Forum on the TNBC foundation website has connected me with so many knowledgable survivors. It's made a real difference in my treatment and my management of side effects to get the input from all these women, and it has also given me an opportunity to help others. The ability to share with people who are going through the same thing makes it so much easier. The positivity and faith and prayers of so many who post on this site helps to keep me optimistic and reminds me to live each day to the fullest.

The wealth of information that members shared was invaluable. I could educate my doctors about triple negative breast cancer because of what I read on the TNBC forum.

Not knowing anyone else diagnosed with TNBC, I went looking for information online very quickly. TNBCfoundation.org is a goldmine, to put it simply. I've received knowledge, direction, hope, support and the assistance of my sisters in the same fight as I. I am not alone. I never was.
