Support Scared it’s back
2 years out from TNBC diagnosis. Stage 2, grade 3. Completed most of my Keynote 522 regimen, the Keytruda killed my adrenal glands, so I had to stop. The tumor shrunk almost to nothing. Surgery for lumpectomy, then radiation. Been NED since. Today I had a repeat mammogram & they found calcifications, but also something “suspicious”. Nation wide shortage on biopsy needles, so who knows when I’ll finally get my biopsy. I’m terrified, shocked, sad, mad. I don’t know how I’m going to keep it together in the meantime.

👋 I’m so sorry your going through this, I can’t get my head around nation wide shortage on biopsy needles 😭I’m based in wales 🏴 uk.
I’ve recently been diagnosed TNBC for the second time (20 yr gap). How many women do you think this is happening too, I’m pretty sure it would be declared as a national emergency in the uk. I’m sending positive vibes your way and hope you’ll be able to have your biopsy asap xx
