Hi Lisa: It really is a scary and horrible time. The waiting is the worst! I was diagnosed about three weeks ago. It is only now I am beginning to function again. I had my chemo port put in on Monday and today I had a PET scan. On the 19th I am getting a second opinion at Slone Kettering Hospital in New York. They are one of the leaders in triple negative breast cancer in the nation. Another is MD Anderson in Texas. I would really suggest that you get a second opinion from a center that specializes in Breast Cancers. I will still get my treatment here in Michigan, but I will have input from more than one place. Ask your doc to give you something like Ativan to help with your anxiety. Hang in there!
