I went on the walk 5k yesterday in van. Wanted to say it was a beautiful day for it and thousands attended!! My sign said running for the cure for triple negative breast cancer, although I was walking for cure for all, but because I know what triple negative is and unfortunately I have I wanted to do this.the troubling thing to me was many women mostly survivors came up to me and asked what triple negative was! I know that tnbc is not as common but wow, we really need to get the word out and we need more money into research for it.I actually became more scared kjowing that even bc survivors are not aware

    anamerty - I did the run here in Toronto. I have met many survivors who don't know what her2 is either! I think we focus on our own diagnosis and block the rest perhaps. I agree we need way more funding into TNBC - this is a subset with fewer treatment options and this is not acceptable


    it rained here but it was a great day nonetheless
