Kymmie,
I just heard today I am TN. Lumpectomy 6/26/08, 1 cm, 2 foci, grade 2-3, node negative. I, too, will do radiation. I, too, am not sure about chemo. I now have shingles so it may complicate chemo. Live in San Francisco. Kaiser health care. Sister had BC, but ER positive. Go figure. Keep me up on what you decide!! I'd love hearing from you. Tina |

Hi Wendy: I'm your neighbor in Bethesda, MD. I have a dear friend who also has TNBC and have heard of others in the area who have it -- we're an older group - mid-50's and are not considered "typical" for having this type of bc. Would love to share info if you're interested - drugs, stage, coping, treatment facility, etc. Paricia

Hello everyone! I found this site after the latest BC news about us - TNBC. I am from Naperville, IL and got treatment at the U of Chicago. I came across this site after reading the cnn article about TNBC
http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/06/16/hm.triple.neg.breast.cancer/ where my oncologist was quoted saying that "The challenge we have is when the cancer comes back," she added. "Right now, we don't have any effective way to treat it, and that's why when it comes back, it tends to be deadly." Needless to say, I have been on an emotional roller coaster since reading that statement. But, I am doing better today. I've already finished all my treatments. Had my mact in May 07 (on my dad's 60th birthday). Finally finished up reconstruction work. I am loving this site - I feel a real connection here  . |
