Bilateral (at diagnosis) and triple negative

weimlover

My doctors and I have an ongoing conversation that I could be in a very rare category . Under 40 bilateral breast cancer which is triple negative. My tumors were small so I went with bmx. Anyone else

Hi Wendyelaine:

From your profile, it looks like you had bilateral DCIS? Bilateral DCIS isn't really a "mixed" type of breast cancer, so you may also want to post in the DCIS forum here:

Here is a thread for those with bilateral disease (DCIS and/or invasive disease) if you'd like to say hello there:

https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/109/topic...

There are some members here with ER- PR- HER2- DCIS and some with bilateral disease, but maybe not a lot with both (and no invasive component). I had bilateral disease, but it was hormone receptor-positive (HER2 not tested), with some small invasion.
