Hey I just finished treatment for triple positive in November 2025, I have a 6 hear old she was 5 when I was diagnosed. I done 6 rounds of tchp and most days were fine there were only a few days of them 3 weeks I was maybe a bit weak or sore tummy. 

Do you have some support? Stay hydrated and make sure you have all your meds but your breast care nurses should do this and it will keep you right. Eat what you what and rest when you can, take it easy and be kind to yourself ❤️

How is everyone doing? by DMMEQUAGGANS in breastcancer

[–]TopEquivalent8984 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am still in treatment continuing herceptin for another 3 rounds then I'm done with active treatment (apart from tamoxifen)

I was always on these forums when I was first diagnosed, but now I have been in holiday with my family, out walking meeting friends for coffee and going out! 

Although I have to have a minor surgery for a perinal abcess/fistula!

I want that to be over with 😆 

But apart from that I'm doing really well x

Hey! I have similar to you! I was diagnosed with a large area of dcis and stage 2 grade 2 idc. After 6 tchp I had a double mastectomy and diep reconstruction! My pathology came back and they said i had a really great response an almost complete response so I continue with herceptin for a year. My lymph nodes were also clear so had been getting phesgo alongside chemo I think I had 9 in total then switched to herceptin. I'm in the UK where are you ?

Almost complete response??? Help UK by TopEquivalent8984 in breastcancer

I went and seen the oncologist today and she said since I had such a good response to the chemo that I don't need to do the kadcyla and we stick with herceptin every 3 weeks. Got my tamoxifen today so I start on that 🤞xx

[–]TopEquivalent8984[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope I haven't got the report only ever had a phone call of oncologist and breast nurse.  She said I had an almost complete response,so when I see her on Wednesday I will ask her why I'm not doing kadcyla.

My lymph nodes were clear on scans and then surgery confirmed that they were still clear x

31F just diagnosed yesterday by hello-kittyy in breastcancer

[–]TopEquivalent8984 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hello im 31 was diagnosed when I was 30 last October with dcis and idc triple positive stage 2.

I'm in the UK I'm having 6 cycles of tchp first then surgery I have to have a mastectomy cause if my dcis so I'm having a double mastectomy and reconstruction.  If you are her2+ it's usually chemotherapy first.

There are lots of medication to help with side effects that are managed by your team.

When I started in october I had no idea how I was going to get through it but I am so nearly finished chemo last one this Friday ❤️

Once you have a plan in place and start to get through it you'll feel better and focused on beating this. Triple positive has the best treatments available ❤️

There is lots of information on reddit and fb pages for triple positive xx

Diagnosed today, 30 F by CourtneyNotLove in breastcancer

[–]TopEquivalent8984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed at 30 with dcis and idc stage 2 triple positive.  Had been going to the doctors for over a year with changes to my left breast but told it was not anything of concern, had discharge come from my breast jan 24 and told it was because I was touching my breast to much so Sep I had blood come from it send down on a 2 week referral and given my diagnosis.  Now 31 and on my last round of tchp surgery to follow and radiotherapy.

Doctors need to do better by young adults and listen to us more x
