    Mods... and Patricia: Thanks for that summary. It's especially nice to see the 87% disease free survival number (32 months follow-up), as that is a stat that I have never been able to find speicific to TN. Also, the fact that local/regional recurrence is highly treatable.

    Thank you for this information.

    Such positive news, and great that MBC and TNBC have become more of a research focus.

    Hi, all my tnbc sisters, while reading this great research summary, I was taken aback by the JAK2 mutation, which my 40 year old daughter has. She is being monitored for a blood condition related to producing an overabundance of red blood cells.



    I am going to talk to a genetics counselor when I feel a little better this week. I will likely have o pay out of pocket for genetic testing (the arbitrary cut-off for insurance paid testing being age 60 and I am 61). I say arbitrary because no one so far has been able to give me a good reason.
