Hi all,

My sister was diagnosed with stage-2 TNBC in Mar 2014. She has taken several cycles of chemo with carboplatin and gemcitabine. Her cancer has become drug resistant now.

Her oncologist suggested Affinator, which she started last month but had to stop because it is increasing toxicity in the body.

She is having chest infection now because of which she is having severe coughing and respiratory problems.

She is not my sister, she has raised me like her kid and I know if I would have been in her situation she would have screwed the entire world to find the best treatment for me.

Please advice what I should do ? I heard about immunotherapy and infusion of pembrolizumab but have least understanding about these treatments.

Please advice wha
