Tanya Russell was part of our online TNBC support group, and we met briefly while attending the Young Survival Coalition (C4YW) Conference 2014 in Orlando this past February. We talked for a few minutes at the hotel's pool, it was a short visit but was happy to meet her. Sadly, Tanya passed on May 23, 2014.  Rest peacefully sweet sister, we'll continue the fight from here. 

Diagnosed August 2011 - TNBC, Stage 2b. BRCA negative. Chemo AC+T 

Recurrence May 2013 - Stage 4 with mets to bone marrow.  

September 2013 - Metastatic disease- Progression while on Abraxane and Xeloda, mets to liver. Starting Eribulin. December 2013 - On Elirubin and it worked, the tumors are gone from the liver. I know that at least a couple of months before passing, the cancer has spread to her brain.
