Hi bemar23,

I was diagnosed with stage 3B triple negative breast cancer two and a half years ago when I was 38, and had some treatments that metasastic breast cancer patients have.

Besides chemo and radiation and surgeries, the treatments I had that were specific to metastatic TNBC were a year of keytruda and a year of xeloda - the keytruda concurrent with chemo and then surgery and radiation, and xeloda I started during radiation as an oral chemo that would specifically target any cancer that was in the bloodstream.

Hope others are able to chime in too for more specifics, but if you have any questions for me I'm happy to help.

I have triple negative breast cancer, that was estrogen positive for 20 years. It was a bit of a surprise. My doctor has me on Xeloda; five breast cancer spots disappeared. I’m not feeling much in the way of side effects. I should also tell that my doctor sent in tissue to a foundation to learn more about tumor and also found that I have 11 mutations, which also affects the type of medication i take. Kind of lengthy reply!!!
