Hello,

My name is Lanie, I was diagnosed with TNBC in December, and just joined the website.

I am looking forward to speaking with other women who are going through this journey. (Specifically treatments/clinical trials etc.) I am currently receiving chemo therapy, and "was" on the Avastin trial.. however I expereinced problems with wound healing - and they took me off study. I am 36 years old and reside in South Florida.

Best,

Lanie

Lanie

Hi I'm newly diagnosed triple negative in april 09. I too will be in the avastin trial. Along with AC &T . How are you doing now? How did you notice that the Avastin was affecting you that way? Did you have any other bad side effects from it?

I would love to keep in touch with you!
