Although there is a thread:
    http://forum.tnbcfoundation.org/Oncologist-recommendations-from-members_topic5721_page2.html - http://forum.tnbcfoundation.org/Oncologist-recommendations-from-members_topic5721_page2.html
there is no one listed in northern VIrginia.
There is some general info on that thread about finding TNBC experts at NCCN and NCI centers
with links.

Looks like 3 of the closest NCCN/NCI centers to north Virginia might be:
