Just diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer

Hello @sschafer70 there are two discussions, that I hope you can look up. Where there are others in your same situation, the first is in direct answer to your question regarding triple negative breast cancer which is very different from the unfortunate situation Rosa had.
Triple negative breast cancer, what treatments are you having?

The second and I am not sure if I can get the link without losing this post is called newbie, and scared. It is a very active conversation with people just like you, who were just diagnosed.

When is your MRI scheduled? Have they given you any indication of treatments plans yet?

Hello @auntieoak
I had been reading the one you suggested.
I just scheduled the MRI for Friday morning, and the doctor said that the treatment plan depended on the size of the tumor and if lymph nodes are involved, there will be surgery, but the chemo and possibly immunotherapy she said is also something that might come up. To be honest, after I read about the immunotherapy and that it can sometimes cause your immune system to attack your own organs, I am not really comfortable with that. I do tend to go for a more homeopathic when appropriate (surgery is a must), but I was reading about immune boosters that are natural and have started taking them this morning.
