Hey Everyone, I'm new at the worlds worst club. Was just formally diagnosed with TPBC today after a biopsy for a lump found a few months ago. A week ago I was living life as a normal, healthy and active young-ish adult, training for a half marathon and now Im not sure what the future holds. This subreddit ha brought me a lot of information during my waiting period and I'm glad this group exists.
I currently know my BC is Grade 3 with a 4cm lump and 1 lymph node tested positive for cancer. Next steps are PET scans and genetic testing. Hoping I was just a statistical anomaly and that I don't carry and genes. No one in my family has any history of any cancer.
If anyone out there has Triple Positive words/research of encouragement I would love to hear. I think the hardest part for me will be starting chemo and looking around and seeing no one my age.
I was diagnosed last Dec at 30 (31 now) and I’m also sorry you’re here! When I first posted here someone commented that it would be one tough year but I’d get through it, and that not only stuck with my but is turning out to be true. I’ll be done active treatment and recovered from everything in November. I’ve had a lumpectomy, double mastectomy, IVF and am finishing up chemo next week. I also got married in February 😅 I’ve been able to work through most of it minus surgery recovery and a few days post chemo. It has been an absolute shitty whirlwind but I’ve learned a lot about myself and changed my priorities. You’ll get through this too! Another great piece of advice I got here: either record or take notes at every appointment! And bring someone else with you if you can. It’s a LOT to take in.

This is a great comment! Bad days? Absolutely. But also many good days and amazing support from the people around me. I was also able to work through most of it and it hasn’t been as bad (for me) as I envisioned when first diagnosed. Also OP, be prepared to be disappointed by some people as well. Having cancer really brings the true colors out of people around you.
