I agree also RavDeb. I am a triple negative as well, and just today I became a 1-YEAR survivor!! I feel great, and althrough it IS good to be informed, that doesn't mean you have to worry! I am enjoying my summer and not waiting for another shoe to drop! I feel better than I ever have and have no physical limitations whatsoever!

I just passed my 2 year survival date at the beginning of this month. I am feeling great and agree with the others that you have to just go ahead and live your life. I do think about it almost every day but I just push it back out and live the best day I can. We are all very special for having gone through this experience. May the journey continue to be a good one for all of us survivors!

Just to add to what the others have said, life does go on. I was originally dx with stage 2, grade III, Pos nodes triple negative 10 1/2 yrs ago and have just hit the 1 yr mark for another triple neg with pos nodes on other side. So all the tx I had 1st time did their job as so far it hasn't spread elsewhere, It has been hard to have to go through all the tx again but I'm 1 yr down with many more to go!!!
All the best for all those just starting there is a light at the end of the road. -
Dear Emma,
My wife had her masectomy done in May. BC Stage 3. Report from lab showed ER/PR neg. She had her 1st chemo last monday, 4 days ago. The onco did not comment anything on ER/PR being negative. I did not know there are somany thing behind it. -
My wife has been diagnosed triple neg, Stage IIB, T3N0M0, Grade 3 tumor that is > 6cm by clinical "feel" and was 3.2 cm by ultrasound. She had her first dose dense Taxotere this past Wednesday and will have every other week for 4 doses then AC every other week. Does anyone know what the actual statistical impact on prognosis of being "triple" negative? To the best of my research, I've only seen that being ER- and PR- has a 2% decrease in survival. HER2 I can't find at all, but despite there being a targeted drug for HER2+ it seems being HER2+ is a WORSE prognosis. I'd love any real research papers on this if someone has a source or a reference on internet.

Positive Thinking
It's good for us. Negative Thinking. Is is bad for us?
Thinking...forgetting. Remembering, hey, I have cancer.
Surgeon says: "had" cancer.
Okay, it's been treated with all treatable methods available for an unusually aggressive unknown subtype of breast cancer which has no hormone receptor indications.
Plastic bottles, water, baby bottles, diet ingredients, sucrose, glucose, fructose; the chemical once thought as harmless has turned out to be highly suspicious, in fact, for imitating estrogen compounds. When combined with other pesticides, poisons in the environment, and a somewhat compromised ability to ward off cancer growth; the imitation estrogen is attacked aggressively by the cancer cells to keep the estrogen at a normal level. Surprise! It's not extra estrogen, it's enzymes and molecules imitating and mutating proteins and structural processes which our bodies are utilizing at an otherwise "normal" level.
How many of us drink water in plastic containers? Everything I purchase seems to be encased in the stuff. The PHC biproduct is a binding agent of sorts, enabling flexable chemicals from falling apart. How much of it gets recycled? Very little.
Also, this is used in canned items to prevent sticking;
I just read about it last night on medpage. Need to find the site again, let you read more and help me to comprehend this information. I was thinking...

Can totally relate to your fears. My fears as of March 1, 2016 started with (TNBC) Triple Negative Breast Cancer and I ran to the internet looking for an alternative then have chemo, radiation, and drugs. I would actually want to die then expose my body to such an extreme. Heck, it is 2016 and that is all they have to offer me. My head spinning as I looked on the internet and I found cancertutor.com and they put me back in control of my life. It took 3 months to find a Natural Path Dr. that was licensed and trained to help with breast cancer. But in the mean time cancertutor gave me things I needed to STOP/START in my life so that my immune system could get strong again and regain control. Cancer tutor also advised to get an alternative natural path Dr. to help along side of your endeavor. They explain what cancer is and how the things, especially food, can heal and strengthen the immune system. There is so much to learn and can be exhausting especially when it is concerning life and death and being ill equipped with knowledge. So, start taking deep breaths and read all you can one day at a time. There are several protocols that are geared to strengthen the immune system and certain ones for breast cancers. They have information and protocols for different cancers, and stages of, etc. They even have ones for poor pockets since insurance doesn't cover it here in the US. One thing the Natural Path Dr was able to do for me is do a blood test: CA 27, 29 that if the number is above 38 you have cancer. Mine was 52. In 3 months I go back and have it done and if it has lowered then what I am doing is working and if not then try something else alternatively and the doctor will go by my other test results to see what protocol would work best. What has changed that I can feel is energy to do the dishes, the laundry, yard work that I haven't for 2-3 years. When I breathe it goes all the way down and back out instead of half way down, my head quit feeling dizzy when getting up or down, I am getting 8 hrs sleep, I am losing weight slowly and consistently. I could go on and on but enough for now. Will be looking to see how you are doing.
