Dear 2ndtimeround,

I am sorry to hear of the difficult time you are having with being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer on two separate occasions and also having your chemotherapy stopped prematurely.

Please feel that you can contact us here at the National Cancer Helpline on FreFone 1800 200 700 from Mon-Thurs 9am -7pm and Fri 9am-5pm. Here you can speak with a cancer nurse specialist confidentially.

We may also be able to link you with another lady who has had a triple negative breast cancer through our volunteer programme Reach to Recovery as well as inform you of other sources of support if you wished.

I would also like to draw your attention to another thread posted in February 2012 from another lady who is living with triple negative breast cancer under “Treatments” which may be helpful to you.

Cancer Information Nurse
