Triple Negative Breast Cancer: What treatments are you having?

Hello everyone,
My first treatment was red devil and taxol. I did okay with it, a little numbness in my feet but I used a glutamine supplement which was amazingly effective. I was cancer free for 5 1/2 years. In February 2023, I was diagnosed with local reoccurrence Tnbc. Chemo first carboplatin, abraxine and Keytruda. This was a brutal regime for me but I made it through all treatments. Each person handles chemo differently. All I can say is take your anti nausea meds every 4 hours (I had two different meds). I’m happy today I had a mastectomy and my pathology report showed all clear margins. My onc plan is 4 more rounds of Keytruda and follow up in 6months. Hopes this helps!
Stay strong, stay positive.

I also had TNBC. Chemo, then surgery (all clear, except some minimal lympho vascular invasion). The double mastectomy I had may be helpful to clearing the lympho vascular invasion. I then had another round of chemo (Taxol/carboplatin). I was also dealing with ATM gene. The new protocol is to test all TNBC for gene mutations. I too have the numbness in my toes and I wondered about the glutamine supplements. First I have heard about this. What brand and dose? Thank you!
