Hi.

I read below article from Expert Note.

July 2008: Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Clinical trials for triple-negative?

It seems not good for TNT.

I am also looking for my next chemo meds.

No trials chemo meds are working.

I can't rely on onc's test subject anymore.

Let's hope we can find.

I am tn metastatic, and on my second round of xeloda single agent.  I'll let you know in a month or so when we scan.  I've heard that tn's don't do as well, but my onc has also told me of cases where it's been successful.  Since I have brain mets, and xeloda crosses the b/b barrier, we thought it was worth a shot.  One patient, tn metastatic, was stable on xeloda as a single agent for over three years.  That's enough for me to want to try it.  No infusions, no hair loss, and so far, no hand/foot syndrome.

I went to see the well known TNT specialist in NC.

She mentioned that any type of MBC use for Zeloda.

I hope we find this is working.
