So I now joined the Stage IV TNBC group officially dx with lung mets. Not much to say because it just stinks!!!!Question, has anyone ever been told their cancer seems slow growing? My MO today stated this due to the fact these lung mets have been slow growing for 6 months now. Largest was 6.1 mm and other two are 4mm maybe doubling in size over 3 months. Going to get some new scans and plan is to go back on Xeloda being she said it works well with metastatic disease. She feels as of right now it's a slow grower and she would like to try this to give me more freedom. Feels like we should refrain from rolling through the list of chemo as of now. So anyone out there who has heard this ?

Thanks!

Hi. I am not TNBC but I wanted to pop in with some news of which you may or may not be aware. Last night as I was watching the news, the banner below scrolled that a lab grown molecule has been developed that appears to attack and kill hard to treat cancer cells like Triple Negative BC, Pancreatic and Ovarian cancers. I hope we hear more of that!! It could be TNBC answer to HER2+ 's Herceptin. HOPE

Wow, thanks for attaching the article. Very interesting as it even shows potential with glioblastoma's which is a very aggressive cancer. Keeping the faith that one of these days research will break this hard to crack nut open!!

rosie I'm super happy to hear that yours responded that quickly! I'd heard from some who said it took a long time to get back & that was depressing but yours is excellent! so I'm now I'm really cheering about your story and hoping that is a better interpretation of how things go 😊

Moth,

A friend of mine with pancreatic cancer had good success in raising his platelets by eating poppy seeds. He discovered this in a fluke when his wife brought back poppy seed pastries from NYC. Solo has canned poppy seed filling if you want to try it.

Best wishes.
