Bless all of you beautiful people!!
My apologies for not posting in a while. Just an update on my beautiful wife. She's two years and three months out after diagnosis and still all clear. Her doctor at OU Medical just removed her port yesterday...major milestone! She was initially a 2b so I need to change on profile...CHEMO reduced her tumor to a 1A status.

Hello
Thanks for posting everyone. I'm 19 months out and take each day as it comes. I love to hear that those with triple negative are getting more years in their rearview mirror. i hope to do the same

Tammy;22 if you are directing your question to me? First time I was not. This 2nd time yes. But back then they did not differentiate a lot between hormone positive and hormone negative. We either had it or not. Lumpectomy was considered a new approach.
I went to a major university hospital that had a breast cancer clinic (University of Chicago). I was given tamoxifen and it was considered experimental at the time. they had enough information to know that tamoxifen would help me. It did. I took it for 5 years.

diagnosed triple negative in July 2014 with an 8 cm tumor node negative disease when I was 46 years old.
Had 8 cycles of chemo [4 FEC and 4 docetaxol] followed by a mastectomy and 5 weeks (25 fractions) of radiation.
I am almost 3 years out and have just lived my life. Things have been good.

I think I was stage 3....the neoadjuvent wiped out the positive nodes so well that they can't know how many were positive. I'm nearly 10 years out. Will be ten years this coming February. I'm so exciting for everyone that there is talk of a vaccine for TNBC. That is just amazing. Hugs to you all.
