I also had TNBC, but am unfamiliar with the type you developed. You don’t mention the stage of your cancer.
You might check MD Anderson and their research on lipophilic statins with regard to TNBC reoccurrence. I take Lovastatin in hopes that it will have a positive effect. There is so little available for TNBC

Thanks for the info on lipophilic statins at MD Anderson. The stage of my cancer at dianosis was 1b since the tumor was very small, 1 centimeter. As I understand it the tumor bed grew to 1.5 cent. during chemo but the TNBC was seemingly gone. In it's place were multifocal small spots of metaplastic breast cancer. I think the stage changed during the chemo, but not sure. The grade did change to a worse prognosis, but not sure. Metaplastic BC is 1% of breast cancers so there has been little research done on it.
