Triple Negative Breast Cancer: What treatments are you having?

I’m 73 and was diagnosed with triple negative 7 years ago. It is a very aggressive cancer. I have no signs of my cancer returning. I would listen to my doctor if I was diagnosed at 80. My mother lived to be 95, so if I felt healthy at 80, I would do chemo again, maybe one of the newer drugs.

I agree with you about chemo. If you are healthy chemo is doable. I was 68 when diagnosed after testing they said I was okay for chemo and it wasn't that bad. They give you pills for nausea and you will feel fatigued. I would have chemo again if I have a recurrence. Mine was stage 2A no lymph nodes size 5.8 cm.
Good luck and best wishes for all going thru this journey.

For reoccurrences, they usually use Gemzar and Carboplatin and I had my 1st treatment yesterday and it wasn’t too bad.
