Hi,

When checking out the LBBC March 2013 Ask the expert series,  found the following which 
touched my heart when I read/watched it.    This young man's Mom will be taking tamoxifen....
and he does not mention radiation........so one with TNBC will need to address there are different
treatment plans for breast cancer - otherwise seemed like a good video to know about.
The video may be helpful for some members who have children around the 10 year old age group.

From the LBBC website:
"Courtney Daly was 37 years old when she was diagnosed with stage I invasive breast cancer, which manifested as two tumors in one breast.  In addition, she also learned that she had DCIS in both breasts. It is now one year since her diagnosis.  
Recently, her son Aidan completed a video project for school.  Let’s have him share his story in his own words. 
""Hi, my name is Aidan. I made this video for a school project called “Think Care Act”.  For this project you choose a problem you care about and do something to help. Originally I wanted to raise money for LBBC, but then I decided to create a pamphlet and video for kids my age who might be scared if their moms have cancer. I wanted to help them know that there are other kids out there and people know how they feel.""
