37 and Just Diagnosed TNBC

I'm lucky to have been born and raised in Houston!  I haven't met a local person yet that is going to MDA...most are from across the state, USA, and the world.  I will pass along anything I can at this point love.   I'm new to this as well.  Was diagnosed on 3/12, got into MDA on 4/6, had surgery on 4/23 - had fairly severe surgery complications with a hematoma, and just started chemo on 6/10.  Will do chemo for 6 months and radiation for 6 weeks and my tumor was .7mm.  Bought my wig, am ready to video my head shaving (with mohawk 1st) in the next week and will have it on Youtube.  We must be positive in this fight.  Be strong, think positive, TNBC can be 'cured' and we are all blessed by this kind of experience.

I had a lumpectomy since my tumor was fairly small, yet, I had rare complications after surgery and I'm still doing ok.  I don't have a lot of knowledge because I only had the cancer in one breast and chose to keep it and do radiation.

I'll be starting chemo in about 3 weeks...........don't have an exact date but I know the first 3 will be adriamycin (sp), then 3 of a different kind and then 3 of a different kind.   My tumor was 2.2 cm and after chemo, double mastectomy and reconstruction I can hopefully put this behind me.    Just taking it one step at a time though!    It is what it is right?    

To all the new gals and the great sisters who answered back...wow!  such greeat positive energy.  I just know you newly dx gals are so on top of things and are doing such good things to have this turn out great!  Wishing you the very very best in your treatment outcomes and stay aboard for anything at all...and to the great sisters who've walked this walk, you are amazing and thanks....hugs allllllll around
