Calling all triple negative breast cancer patients in the UK
Comments
-
hi Sylvia
Just thought I'd pop on and let you know I went for my results last Wednesday but they were not ready so I asked them to phone me with them when they were in....they phoned this afternoon and they were all clear...I'm so relieved I was getting a bit worried why it was taking so long
I also sorted my lifts out for clatterbridge and will be picked up and dropped off for the remainder of my rads and that's another worry of my mind...I'm up to number 6 of 23 of rads now so ill soon be finished, it's time consuming going everyday and doesn't leave much time for anything else so I've been running around trying to get things done this past week,
I'm in the middle of a declutter at the moment...it's my New Years resolution and I'm finding it quite therapeutic throwing things out....it's like making a new start....I might declutter the people in my life as well when all this is over and remove any negative ones (mainly family members) and only keep people around who have been positive and supportive through this
Take care

Hello Jackpot (Gill)
It was nice to hear
from you. I was so glad to know that everything was clear from your
scan. That is a good way to start the year.I was so glad to know
as well that you have sorted out your lifts for Clatterbridge and
that you will be picked up and dropped off for the rest of your
radiotherapy treatment. I was glad to know that you have already put
six of your treatments behind you. How are you getting on with them?
How are you getting on with holding your breath? It does take up a
lot of the day so do not get overdoing things and make sure you get
some relaxation.I was interested to
know that you are having a declutter and that was a very good New
Year's resolution to make. It is very good and therapeutic to throw
things out. I cannot understand people who complicate their lives
with too many possessions and spend their time shifting it around. I
find on the whole that people tend to be hoarders rather than
minimalists but I tell them you cannot take it with you when you go
and it is not right to leave it for someone else to do. I have seen
so many programmes on the television about hoarding in one form or
another and I am fascinated by them. The last programme I saw was
about people with obsessive compulsive disorder going to help
hoarders. It was most interesting. Recently I read something that
made me laugh, where someone said your last journey is the one for
which you do not have to pack! I feel suffocated in cluttered homes.I do think it is a good
idea to de-clutter negative people from our lives. It is strange that
these tend to be family members, but remember the saying, you can
choose your friends but not your relatives! I remember going through
all this when I was seeing the breast cancer consultant at the
homoeopathic hospital in Bristol. People can poison your lives if you
allow them. Especially when going through cancer treatment, you need
positive and supportive people.Please keep in touch.
Fond thoughts.

Hello apandy (Anne)
How are you getting on
up there in London?I noted down that your
chemotherapy ends on January 29th. You are nearly there. I
was wondering whether you have had your last chemotherapy or whether
it is actually on January 29th.Fond thoughts.

Hello everyone,
I was wondering whether you get fed up as I do about all the negative information about breast cancer with triple negative receptors. I do not think it should be described as deadly. Just imagine how awful it must be for the newly diagnosed. We get the same treatment as those with positive receptors and our tumours respond well. We do not have to go through years and years of medication, with nasty side effects to keep it at bay.
Let us make it our motto in 2014 to be POSITIVE ABOUT NEGATIVE.
We can all do this.
Thinking of you all.
Sylvia. xxxx

Hi Sylvia, I couldn't agree more. I hadn't heard of TNBC before my diagnosis and nobody called it that at the hospital, I was just told that I wouldn't need tamoxifen. I had one heck of a shock when I started to investigate it. I remember the breast care nurse telling me not to go on Dr Google so of course that was the first thing I did when I got home. I started looking under different types of breast cancer and found out about a hormonal negative type which had a much worse outcome than hormonal positive and all the doom and gloom scenarios surrounding it. I was understandably gutted. Knowing that there was no medication to take after treatment was really worrying at first, however, I am so glad that I do not need tamoxifen after hearing all the negative comments re side-effects. I take 3 turmeric tablets, 2 Pomi T tablets and 5 bitter apricot kernals daily, I stay off alcohol and fat as much as possible, drink copious amounts of green tea, eat healthily 90% of the time and exercise every day. This is what I consider my medication and I shall continue in this way as long as I am here.

Hello Sylvia
I totally agree with your comments about our breast cancer and all the scary stuff to be read on the Internet. Like Hero1967 I also was not told I had TNBC, just that I was negative to hormones and HER2-. I discovered my diagnosis after googling like crazy, and I became obsessed with all the info getting more and more distressed and scared. I couldn't believe it was happening to me and convinced myself I was on the way out.
Now that I have finished my treatment and come out the other end I have a different perspective. I still fear recurrence, I still read too many negative articles, but I also realise that TNBC is not necessarily as grim as portrayed. Tamoxifen and Herceptin (as once called) are notoriously harsh with unpleasant side effects and I am so glad I don't have to endure them. Also I understand that the further out you get from diagnosis the less the chance of it coming back. The hormone cancers have a lifetime risk of recurrence - imagine never have the hope that we have that we may have beaten it.
All in all our TNBC is front loaded, awful at initial diagnosis, worrying for the first few years but as time goes on there are very good survival odds. This to me sounds pretty good and actually better than the other types.
I try to keep as healthy as possible, (although I will admit to a very sweet tooth and too much chocolate), walk 3 miles most days with my three dogs, and confess to taking a 75 mg aspirin daily. I am now much more optimistic about the future, enjoy my life, and enjoy communicating with the wonderful ladies on this site who totally understand where I am at. Yes Sylvia - feel we have much to be positive about! X

Hello Hero1967
It was nice to hear
from you and to know that you agree with what I said about being
positive about negative. As I said, I was just told I was negative
and that tamoxifen etc. would be no good. It was only some months
later that I was told I was HER2- and that it was a good thing to be,
as HER2+ was worse. I remember also that the progesterone was 5% and
I was told that was negligible. This is why I sometimes feel
concerned that some women are told they are triple negative but then
are told they have a small percentage of oestrogen and are put on
tamoxifen etc. I wonder whether it is necessary. It it is and they go
on this medication, are they really TNBC?I think the worst thing
the newly diagnosed can do is to go on Google and start reading all
this different information. It is too much. I think they need to
listen carefully first of all to their consultant surgeon and
oncologist and assimilate the basics of their treatment –
chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. That is enough. I was never
given a copy of my pathology report in 2006 at the end of treatment,
but just told I had a good pathology report and there was no evidence
of the disease. I then started to get back to a normal life, although
I had tried to keep my routine as normal as possible during
treatment.Like you, I am glad not
to be taking tamoxifen or any of the aromatase inhibitors, such as
Arimidex. I do not like the idea of messing around with hormones in
the body. I have a friend who is putting on weight from the Arimidex
and apparently there are problems with facial hair etc. I have spoken
to men who are on anti-hormonals during and after treatment for
prostate cancer and they tell me they become feminised with female
breasts and weight around the middle. It all seems a bit Frankenstein
to me. I have also read about the possibility of developing TNBC
through taking tamoxifen for too long and even research about truing
to turn TNBC into hormonal breast cancer to be able to treat patients
with anti-hormonals!I was interested to
know what you are taking to help yourself. I also have turmeric
regularly, but buy it in powder form, mix it with organic hummus and
put it on my food. I also eat at least 15 bitter apricot kernels
daily, and have been doing so since I was diagnosed in June 2005.
Like you, I drink mugs and mugs of green tea every day but have
decaffeinated because I cannot take caffeine, although I may have a
mug of caffeinated green tea in the morning. Do you know how much
caffeine there is in green tea? I have not drunk any alcohol in about
ten years. Like you, I eat healthily most of the time. My treat is
85% or 90% dark chocolate, which I tend to eat if I feel stressed.
Most of the time my diet is fruit and vegetables, fish, mainly wild
salmon, fresh soy milk and yoghurt, nuts, seeds and beans. Like you,
this is my medication. I noticed you said that you take two Pomi T
tablets. Are these pomegranate tablets? I usually buy tubs of fresh
pomegranate seeds and sprinkle them on my yoghurt.Have you read through
the information posted on the sidebar of the site? I have been having
a look at it and some of it is quite useful. There was a lot about
the pathology report. I was never given a lot of the details that are
on that. It is very useful for all the chemotherapy drugs that are
listed in alphabetical order. Have a look and tell me what you think.I
shall be glad to get back to doing some gardening as that always
makes me feel good. The weather has been awful for many weeks here in
Exmouth and not conducive for walking.Thinking
of you and hope you have a good weekend.Sylvia

Hello
Normandee (Norma)It
was nice to hear from you and I am glad we are in agreement. We need
to lead normal lives and try to keep the fear of recurrence at the
back of our minds. I tend to have a quick look at information coming
out on TNBC but really there is not a lot of new stuff. There are
trials but we have to wait a long time for any results.I
have read that with TNBC the further away from diagnosis the better
the chances of the cancer not coming back. All we can do is to try to
keep healthy and hope that our immune system is fighting fit.I am
sure that walking three miles a day with your dogs must keep you
healthy.I
was interested to know that you are taking low dose aspirin. I have
read that it is helpful but I do not take it on a regular basis.
There is so much information now about diet that I suppose we have to
choose what we want to do. I have a list of things to take but do not
take all of them. The experts keep changing their minds! This is the
list I have of possible anti-cancer remedies.Low
carb diet.Low
glycemic, low glucose.Resveratrol,
found in red and black grapes.Curcumin
(Turmeric).Bi-carbonate
of soda.Low
dose aspirin (75mg).Omega-3
fish oils (I tend to eat oily fish and take some ground up linseed).Bitter
apricot kernels.Green
tea.Prunes.
Fruit
rich in anti-oxidants, especially blueberries and raspberries.Dark
chocolate.All
kinds of raw nuts and seeds.Have
you any to add to this?What
do you think about metformin? It keeps coming up.There
is a very interesting article in the January 18th
edition of New Scientist entitled 'Breaking cancer's social network'
under Opinion Interview. It is an interview with a physicist who is
studying cancer, Eshel Ben-Jacob is taking cues from the collective
intelligence of bacteria to learn how to interrupt communication
between cancer cells. The physicist explains how this strategy could
even turn the disease against itself.I
cannot claim to have understood it all, but I did pay particular
attention to the fact that focussed on the way cancer spreads through
the body, or metastasises.I
shall try to post some more details about this article over the next
few days.Have
a good weekend.Fond
thoughts.Sylvia

Hi Sylvia
It was nice to read your reply and receive the list of foods which are healthy and full of antioxidents. I have a little concern that my diet is not quite so good as amongst all the nuts/fruit/veg I consume are biscuits and cake. Naughty I know and have tried to eradicate but I told you about my sweet tooth!
! actually know very little about meltformin but perhaps should do some research? I am aware of the green tea benefits and have tried so hard to get along with it but really find it unpleasant. I eat lots of colourful fruits and veg (adore tomatoes), eat cruciferous veg almost daily especially broccoli and handfuls of walnuts as a snack as I have read these are of value. The aspirin I take is a purely personal choice after much research. There is much debate presently on the possible benefits to avoid TNBC and other cancer recurrence but I do not think it is extensively trialled. However there are also blood thinning effects and my mother had a massive stroke 2 years ago due to a clot, this is what started me thinking a small gastro.resistant dose might be useful for my case. Of course there are other things that have to be weighed up that aren't so good, stomach bleeds etc but all in all I decided personally that it was right for me.
My garden beckons too, birds are singing and marking territories and the bulbs are pushing through. Hope of spring, for renewal, hope in the little joys of life for all of us TNBC girls!

Hello Normandee (Norma)
Thank you for your
post. It is a pleasure to be exchanging views with you. I would not
worry about some biscuits and cake. You are on a healthy diet and it
is difficult to be 100%. It is better to have a few treats than to
feel stressed. This is all the more so when we hear all the time of
people on dreadful diets but living to a ripe old age!I am sure that any
research you do on metformin will be most appreciated. I know about
it only from people I know taking it for diabetes. The women that I
know have said it has nasty side effects and is a very unsociable
drug. My male cousin has been on it for years and he has never
mentioned side effects, but then he does not have a healthy diet and
may not be aware of any side effects!Like you, I love
tomatoes and have them raw and cooked. They are of great benefit
cooked because they contain lycopene which is said to be an important
anti-preventive. Like you, I eat plenty of broccoli and other
cruciferous vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts and cabbage. I also
eat quite a bit of tender-stem broccoli and purple sprouting
broccoli. I eat a lot of almonds, Brazils and, like you, walnuts.I understand why you
are taking aspirin. Did your mother get back to normal after her
stroke?It looks as though we
are both waiting for Spring to get back into the garden. I live in an
apartment but we have extensive grounds where I do quite a bit of
work. I have just had a walk round and I can see that a lot of bulbs
are eager to get going. There are quite a lot of shrubs in bloom.
There are a lot of birds singing as well.That is all for now.
Have a good weekend.
Fond thoughts.

I'm still here! Normal living is pretty fabulous. I got on an airplane last week for the first time since BC and spent a long weekend in Copenhagen (freeeezing!) with two cousins....a band of merry BC survivors! I stayed off of planes for more than a year due to the poopy immunity, so it was great to fly off to somewhere. I'm reading along and pulling for everyone. Fight on ladies and never, ever give up!

Hello everyone
I thought I would just
finish the details in the article I mentioned in the New Scientist.What interested me the
most in this interview was about the way cancer can spread through
the body. The research obviously focussed on this and this is what
was said.“We focussed on
cancer metastasis because over 90% of people who die from cancer die
because of metastasis. In cancer, you have a primary tumour and at
some point its cells switch from epithelial – the type that lines
cavities of the body, but stay put – to mesenchymal cells, the type
that can migrate to new locations. They then switch back to
epithelial cells, which create new outposts for the cancer in the
body.”Apparently “During
the transition from epithelial to mesenchymal, some cells become a
hybrid, a chimera that has characteristics of both types of cells.”It was discovered that
in this hybrid state, they are similar to stem cells and in that they
can reprogramme or differentiate into a different cell type. This
means they have a chance to develop resistance to drugs. The dream is
to reprogramme the cancer cells into benign or less aggressive cells.As I said before, the
article is quite complicated and the best thing is to read it for
yourselves.That is all for today.

Hello jenn-uk
I was so sorry to read
your post and to know that you are going through so much at the start
of the New Year. We are all thinking of you and hoping that the
treatments your medical team has in mind will work for you. I do hope
they will start without delay on the chemotherapy and that it will
shrink the 5.3 cm tumour under your pec muscles and make the smaller
tumours disappear. I do hope they will be able to give you some
radiotherapy. You must be fed up with all this.I do hope the
combination of cyclophosphomide, methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil will
work.Please let us know how
you get on.We shall be thinking of
you on Monday February 3rd when you start radiotherapy.Jackpot (Gill) is going
through radiotherapy for the first time.I do hope they will get
on with the chemotherapy without delay as that is systemic and will
work throughout the body, whereas radiotherapy just targets a
particular area. Try to be optimistic, as they two treatments are
really powerful. There are other chemotherapy drugs and there is a
list of them in alphabetical order if you click on the link provided
this forum (cancer 101). If you go here and then on TNBC and work
through there is a whole load of information in easy to understand
terms.I have heard about
these androgen receptors before and I have read that 70% of patients
with breast cancer have androgen receptors, but I am not sure what
the implication of these receptors is. I would imagine that if you
are androgen positive AR+ there would be a targeted treatment, but if
you are AR- I am not sure what that means. I hope that people viewing
may have more information about this and post in.Wishing you well. Be
positive and keep looking forward.I was a bit puzzled as
to why you would be told that your condition may not be curable or
more accurately brought under control with treatment, as my
understanding is a person is told that there condition is not curable
if it has metastasised to other parts of the body. Even then you can
be optimistic, because people who have gone to stage 4 and had
treatment can live for many years.I was also puzzled
about your having had three lumpectomies since 2011. I know that you
are in Scotland and that the NHS does not work according to NICE as
in England, where my information is that after two lumpectomies a
patient is advised to have a mastectomy.Try to have a relaxing
weekend and build up your strength. You can get through this.Fond thoughts.

Hello jenn-uk (Jenn)
My heart goes out to
you for all that you have been through and all that you are going
through. I am hoping for a miracle for you. I do hope that you have a
strong support team around you of friends and family and strong
support at the hospital.I was trying to find a
way to give you some support and some help, so I Googled the
following question: What drugs are available for locally advanced
cancer that is aggressive and TNBC. You might like to read the
following link about a woman of similar age to you.http://www.curetoday.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/article.show/id/2/article_id/2157
The following drugs
were mentioned – a PARP inhibitor – veliparib with cisplatin and
vinorelbine. Others mentioned were Xeloda – capecitabine, Ixempra –
ixabepilone, Halaven – eribulin.There was also mention
of a combination of Xeloda and Ixempra.The taxanes, docetaxel
(Taxotere) and paclitaxel (Taxol) are also often quoted as being very
effective in advanced breast cancer, especially TNBC.Have a read of the
articles on the link and tell me what you think.I was wondering whether
you were tested for the BRCA 1 or 2 gene. I think you qualify to be
tested if you are pre-menopausal.Do you have a good
cancer hospital in Edinburgh or cancer centres? Do you have any local
support groups?Thinking of you.

Hello everyone,
I have been doing some browsing and noticed a couple of articles by Dr Marisa Weis on this forum. Since we are all interested in nutrition and staying healthy, I thought you might like to read them.
One article is entitled 'Sugar: Should you worry about it?' and the other is: 'Coming to terms with sugar substitutes.'
There is a lot of information here. It pays to explore this forum.
Best wishes.

Hi Jenn-UK,
I have nothing but respect for the way you are dealing with your situation and how realistic you seem to be. I'm also in favor of a big miracle for you. Do the experts tell you anything about the virulence?

Dear Jenn-uk,
I just wanted to echo what Sylviaexmouthuk and susaninicking said, that I wish you all the best and hope that one of the chemo regimes will work for you. You have been through such an ordeal with 2 (possibly 3) re-ocurrences and in such a short space of time. I just wanted you to know that I am rooting for you, Heroxx

Hi all, haven't posted here for ages - just wanted to check in. Have not had the energy to go through all the info (you guys always post interesting links). Have been literally too tired to take anything in lately.
However, after 3 cycles of Xeloda my scan shows stable - no difference at all from the scan we did before I started Xeloda! So that is very cool news, and I'm immensely relieved, needless to say! Hope it will continue like this for a long time! I got 3 months out of Taxol, am hoping for a longer run on Xeloda, the side effects are there, but that's the trade off for stable, and I can handle that! So the plan is to do another 3 cycles of Xeloda then scan again. My life is broken up into 3 month segments. After scans we make a treatment plan, so I can then organise my life around when I'm going to be feeling lousy and when are good days, as much as you can plan that, each cycle has been different so far.
Anyway I'm off for a nap even though it is only 11h30! Body says sleep and I'm going to listen to it!!
Nice to hear news of clear scans, may that continue too!
Have had bad mouth sores, so I've been juicing more, it's one way to get my greens for the day in. Also it's mango season here, and I've been eating lots of those. Otherwise, I don't do junk food, have no appetite, but just keep putting stuff into my body. Frozen yoghurt for mouth sores helps a lot!

Hi Jenn, you are dealing with so much right now - I really hope the chemo and rads will stop the growth and any possible spread! They found the nodules in my lungs on the first 3 month checkup after AC & rads. They reckon that possibly I was stage iv at the get go, just the lung nodules were too small to pick up. If that's the case I'm about 20 months since the original diagnosis. Thank God my mets were not so fast growing and we seem to be controlling them now. My qol is good still - & I'm just trying to enjoy each day as it comes.
Even though we are 3neg there are still quite a few chemo options and of course, trials. I just hope you find something that will be your silver bullet. Hang in there Jenn, big hugs

Hello jenn-uk
Thank you for your
post. It must have been very difficult for you having your mother die
of breast cancer and then being diagnosed with it yourself. Do you
know whether your mother had positive receptors or negative ones? I
was wondering where the age cut-off point is for saying a person is
too old for the BRCA mutation? My maternal grandmother died of breast
cancer at age 70 after a mastectomy and radiotherapy. She had
metastatic breast cancer but I do not know whether this was the case
at diagnosis or after treatment. I do not know for how long she
survived. There was a lot of cancer among her nine children, all now
deceased, but her two daughters did not have cancer. Of those two
daughters children I am the only female. In the family there are
three more females from those brothers but so far I am the only
female through my grandmother's line to have had cancer.I know we are all
keeping our fingers crossed that your treatment will be successful
and please know that you can come here for all the support you need.Keep your eyes open in
case a suitable trial becomes available.I felt that you would
probably have good treatment centres in Edinburgh and was interested
to know that it is one of Cancer UK's Research Centres. It is good to
know that you have one of the best breast units in the UK and an
excellent surgeon. I shall certainly look up the link you have given.I was also interested
to know that the Maggie Centres were founded in Edinburgh. I know
that they do good work. A couple of my nieces did a midnight walk
across London to raise funds a few years ago and I sponsored both of
them.It is good that you are
being encouraged to research and question your diagnosis and options.
I am a great believer in taking charge of what is happening to me as
much as is possible. You do sound like a very brave and down to earth
person and I admire you for that.Everybody on this
thread wants a miracle for you.Thinking of you.
Fond thoughts.

Hello Carolben
I think some kind of
telepathy must have been working between the UK and SA, because I
have been thinking of you so much and hoping that you were OK.I can understand that
you are very tired and do not have the energy to go through all the
information.I was so glad to know
that after three cycles of Xeloda, that your scan is stable. I do
hope all goes well with the next three cycles of Xeloda and that you
will once again have good news when it comes to the scan.Does the time go slowly
during these three months? When you are feeling good do you have the
energy to do the things that you enjoy and make you happy?It sounds as though you
are taking good care of yourself and getting as much as you can in
the way of healthy juices and fruit. I think we all understand how
low bad mouth sores can make you feel and it is very helpful to know
that frozen yoghurt helps a lot. I have been buying a lot of fresh
apricots from South Africa and when I buy them I always think of you.
Because we are a small thread I feel as though I get to know those
that have posted regularly and gone through their treatment while on
the thread.I have not heard
anything from Liv and like you I do worry when people just disappear.
I do not think she has been active on the thread or anywhere else for
a long time. She was so active and lively and then just disappeared.
I did post on this thread to Lola, another Australian, working in
Hong Kong, but I have had nothing from her either. I do remember that
Liv was very young and had inflammatory breast cancer, very
aggressive, and couple with triple negative receptors. She even PMd
in the past a couple of e-mails from her father Ed. She did this
because he was not on the computer but was following our posts. I
have no way of contacting him to find out what has happened. I do
hope that if anyone is following the thread and knows anything about
Liv, they might post. It is the same with Dulcie and Josephine. They
were both very ill and then silence. Dulcie had a rare breast cancer
known as metaplastic breast cancer with TN receptors. I know that
people sometimes need to take a break from the thread but I hope that
they can pop in from time to time. I would like to know that linali
(Lindsay) in Ireland is alright, as well as her compatriot Mumtobe
(Carol).Keep up the good
progress, Carolben. Take great care and know you are in our thoughts.Fond thoughts.

Hello everyone
As you know I am always
on the watch for the latest information and I just clicked on the
following Breaking News panel on bc.org and followed the latest
information about the results of experimental targeted therapy for
breast cancer with both negative and positive receptors. Obviously I
was interested in the good results for TNBC when using veliparib plus
the chemotherapy carboplatin in neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by
standard chemotherapy and then surgery and finding complete
responses. Veliparib is a PARP inhibitor. Please have a look.http://www.breastcancer.org/research-news/20140122
