    I know four of us right now that no longer can have treatment without going into Phase I drug trials.  We have ran out of any knowledgeable options showing hope through chemo.  It looks like we will all become lab rats for the future.  Hopefully we can find something really positive doing these trials.

    I am trying best I can to keep updates and new trial info posted in the resource forum of http://www.tnbcfoundation.org

     I know they are working on us but it is, well can't really put a word on it other than it is so dang slow!  Too many women are going on to have other problems and it just has to stop.

    The good news is that we are finally getting some attention in the medical/research field, the bad news is that they are not working fast enough to get us the targeted treatment and cure that we need.

    We've got to get the word out there that this triple negative breast cancer is so aggressive and quick to move on too many too quick.  Too many people still seem to think there is only one kind of breast cancer.
