   Hello, my name is Dewitt.I have a keen interest in TNBC as my best friend has TNBC. She was diagnosed in 2008 with TNBC and its now 2019, and thank God she's doing well.
That said, I simply wish to pass on info about a promising Clinical Trial using a cancer vaccine NeuVax in combo with Herceptin for adjuvant therapy that siginificantly reduces the likelihood of recurrence for early stage TNBC patients.  I'm not a doctor so this therapy may or may not apply to your diagnosis, but I simply want to increase awareness of possible alternative therapies in order to increase Hope for those who have TNBC. 

The lead investigator of the trial, is Elizabeth A Mittendorf, MD, PhD, conisidered a foremost expert in Breast cancer. The Phase 2 study is complete, BUT they will soon be starting a Phase 3 trial. Keep an eye on it and inform your Physician.
