@crosschek
Did they try Keytruda?
@crosschek did she have Adriamycin? That was the only chemo that seemed to shrink my TNBC and last pathology was negative for it.

@crosschek geez, I am sorry about this diagnosis. TNBC can be difficult due to a lack of druggable targets. It sounds like your doctor has been really good about gathering the needed information.
Your wife is young, and it is especially hard to think about cancer when you are young. I was in my 30’s and it definitely leads to different decisions, and a willingness to go further to treat the cancer.
I know that I read a ton of abstracts about research for TNBC, because that is considered one of the biggest needs.
Is your wife being treated at a cancer center or teaching hospital? Any possibility of clinical trials?
