Did you recently find out that your sub-type of triple-negative breast cancer shows apocrine differentiation?

Hello,

Thank you very much

No, I was diagnosed several years ago. MSKCC only provided Radiation Oncology therapeutic modality following lunmpectomy .

I am interested in added consultations regarding potential Immunology therapeutic Modalities and potential bilateral mastectomy.

Would you know if any kistservs that address bilateral mastectomies following diagnosis of Tubular Apocrine Triple Negative Breast Carcinoma?

Thank you again

Kindly,

Hello, I am sorry you are going through this it is awful and this is why we need to have as much information as possible. I was diagnosed last week with this type of cancer and offered neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy 8 cycles including anthracyclines and immunotherapy Keytruda) followed by surgery and then Keytruda and radiation. What happened to you since September/ the date of your post? I am looking for a second opinion but i believe will follow this treatment given that the size of area where calcifications were noted and was biopsied is 2.5 cm x 3.2 cm and the cancer was graded as Nottingham grade 2 .
