Hello everybody,
I knew this forum accidentally when I search something in google. I like the slogan "boredom is not an option". I am excited to see what happen here. Hope to find fun and learn something here.

Fun, hmmm.... I wouldn't say that's our focus, though it's true that cancer is not boring. Boring is something we hope for. I think you wandered in the wrong neighborhood.

I am also new to the board (today). 18 days after having a clear mamogram, I discovered a huge lump in my breast. Before it was removed, I was told it was 3CM and I also had an aspiration of my nodes and told they were clear. By the time I had my surgery, my lump was 4Cm, grade III, 2 cancerous nodes and triple negative. I really hadn't been told how bad it is to be triple negative until I switched oncologists with only 6 chemo treatments left. Tuesday is my last chemo treatment and then I will start radiation. By the way, I did have a mastectomy and my previous oncologist and surgeon didnt agree on radiation. Thank goodness I switched doctors, obviously it didnt take a rocket scientist to figure that one. I am also very lucky that I don't have the gene mutation; which my surgeon said I didnt need to have the genetic testing. Go figure, I am Jewish, my ancestors from eastern Europe. I must admit that I never got scared until the last few days when I started doing research on being triple negative. I have always been extremely positive, but I am having difficulties today feeling positive.
