When West Springfield resident Cynthia Sheridan Murphy was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (pdf) two summers ago at the age of 53, she told herself "I just needed to get through this."Getting through the next 13 months involved a mastectomy, four rounds of chemotherapy over 12 weeks, six weeks of radiation therapy, a five-night hospital stay for breast reconstruction and then facing complications from lymphedema, a build up of circulating bodily fluid that sometimes results from treatment.This condition in her right arm delayed her return to work as a dental hygienist.It is estimated that 10 to 20 percent of breast cancers are triple negative (pdf).
