Hi, I’ve just been diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer Recurrence, same place as my first. Gutted and what to get on with treatment but I don’t know what this is. Does anyone know what the latest treatment, standard of care or trials are out there? I’ll be getting a mastectomy but I want more as I have two little children and want to be here for them growing up. I can’t find any information really and my next appointment isn’t for two weeks! Many thanks x
I'm so sorry to hear that, Run4it.
I suppose that means you are off the c-trak trial. Have you asked that trial team whether there are any other trials for which you might be eligible? They might have some insider knowledge - better than a random internet search.
I don't know what standard care is in your circumstances. Did they give you no indication, beyond the mastectomy? Do you have a date for that, yet?
I wish I could say something helpful. Just know that I'm thinking of you.
Thank you AP7. Yes off the trial now but without having been on it this wouldn’t have been picked up for months. Silver lining I’m getting a detailed MRI in a couple of weeks as something maybe suspicious on my sternum too, although might just be damage from radiotherapy. I’m thinking the worst. If it is something then I’ll go on another trial but if it’s just in my breast then aim not sure what. There are no trials for local recurrence in the UK.
