Deb Charles is a friend. She also lent me her 'husband' before my mastectomy. (That's a pillow with two arms that helps you sleep, silly.) She's a fighter!
My War Against Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Welcome
On September 28, 2009 I was diagnosed with stage 3 Triple Negative breast cancer. They found a 9 cm tumor and another smaller one while I was nursing my son. I started 17 rounds of chemo: ACT plus carboplatin. Had a double mastectomy on April 6, 2010 followed by 6.5 weeks of radiation. At the time of my surgery I had had a complete pathologic response to the chemo - no evidence of disease. Here's what I learned along the way:
