Triple Negative Breast Cancer: What treatments are you having?

I was diagnosed with TNBC in 2015 and also was treated at Mayo in Arizona. I had a complete response, and am doing well. Be confident Mayo will do good for you.

I was recently diagnosed TNBC. Mayo’s standard was Taxol/Carboplatin/Pembrolizumab 1xweek fir 12 weeks,
then Adriamycin/Cytoxan/Pemrolizumab 1X every 3 weeks x 4 times. So another 12 weeks.
60% chance of complete pathological result (meaning cancer is gone.)
Wait 4-6 weeks and do surgery.
Radiation just depended on if lymph nodes or size of tumor (over 5cm is yes)

I decided to join a I Spy 2 clinical study. Which delays starting chemo as they take another biopsy and send it to the study group to get recommended chemo/Immuno combo. Takes two weeks. The waiting is a mental game.
Please keep in mind everyone’s situation is different and BC seems very complicated in the variety of treatment options.

I just had 1/2 of the oatmeal mixture that I made last nite. It sure was a lot to eat. Hopefully it will stay tasty to finish later! Very filling and tasty 😋 I don’t have a lot of appetite this morning and I feel like I am coming down with a head cold 😢 Thank you 😊 ( I hope I can go 💩)

I mix in half kefir and half milk to where it looks a little soupy. Then add whatever you like. I add a handful of walnuts for texture. I freeze blueberries whole when they are in season then use a handful of those. I use berry flavored kefir to pump up the flavor.
My husband uses pecans and raisins and a bit of real maple syrup. He also microwaves his to a warm temp in the morning, I eat mine cold. This has made a tremendous difference for us in feeling better and avoiding the build up and then very painful emptying.
I still drink miralax at half dose every single night as an added precaution.
When is your next treatment?

Thanks for your update. I didn’t know what flavor to buy for the Kefir so I bought plain. Oh well. Once I add the oats, blueberries, touch of honey, almonds and milk, it should be good. Also picked up some flaxseed, date bites, diced pears, Colace too. I also bought Fig Newtons but I forgot prunes. I plan on putting it all together tonite and eat it in the morning and I will let you know! Thank you ☺️ My next treatment is next Tuesday.
