Triple Negative Breast Cancer: What treatments are you having?

I am the 80 yr old with invasive carcinoma, triple negative breast cancer. After refusing both chemo and radiation last March, I decided to have four weeks of radiation. I don't know if I really need it, but after talking to others that had four weeks of radiation and very little, if any, problems, I decided to be safe and not be second- guessing myself. I begin my first treatment next week. Because of my general good health, my doctor and other women have told me I will not
be sorry.

I agree with all the other women. If your general health is good it should be event free and you won’t have to look back and wonder if you should have gone for it. Some people have some fatigue with radiation so rest if you need to and this will pass. I am with you in thought.
Do you have someone who can take you to radiation and help you with chores if necessary?
