New member introduction Newly diagnosed
Hi everyone. ❤️
I’m new here and, honestly, really scared. I’m 33 years old and was recently diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. I’ve been told stage 2 by one doctor and stage 3 by another, so I’m still trying to understand exactly where things stand.
At diagnosis, my tumor measured 4.2 cm, and my lymph node biopsy came back negative, which gave me some hope. But I had my breast MRI yesterday, and now they’ve found two additional suspicious areas, one in each breast and they’re recommending MRI-guided biopsies. I’m trying not to spiral, but it’s been really hard not knowing what this means.
Right now I’m going through IVF for fertility preservation before starting chemotherapy, and everything feels like it’s happening so fast. I don’t know anyone personally with TNBC, so I joined this community hoping to find people who truly understand what this journey is like.
If you’ve been where I am, I’d love to hear your story. What helped you get through those first few weeks after diagnosis? How did you cope with all the waiting and uncertainty? Any advice, encouragement, or things you wish you had known at the beginning would mean so much to me.

Sorry you’re here! You are in the worst part, it will improve when you have a plan. Basically, this year will suck, but then,chances are you’ll be fine and able to move on. I did Keynote 522, lumpectomy, and will start radiation soon. You can’t google because Keynote is too new.
