    Triple negative gals...
    Just wanted to add a little side note on being triple negative, as I am, too....this is from MY personal experience and mine only...please after treatment is finished, don't just concentrate on finding something in your breasts if you've had a lumpectomy, which I did....this is not to alarm or scare you, just more understanding of this sneaky ^#%^*disease...breast cancer doesn't always come back in the breast...as I'm sure most of you know...I was 18 months out of all treatment and a lump appeared just above my clavicle bone...literally it seemed, over night...it's back....in my lymph nodes...not my breasts...

    Point of this is be aware of your ENTIRE body, just not your breasts...

    Wishing you all well...
    Hugs, Nancy
