No pCR but living happy lives years after TNBC

Forgot to mention I still have to go on the second phase of the neoadjuvant chemo, A/C.

Please let me know, did any of you ladies had a better outcome from A/C?

I was diagnosed with what was thought to be early stage TNBC in February. I had surgery first, no lymph node involvement but vascular invasion. I had 4 rounds of EC followed by 12 weeks of Paclitaxel. I had a CT scan for something else, just after I had switched to Paclitaxel. It found, unexpectedly, a secondary on my liver. Further scans after I finished Paclitaxel showed some shrinkage of the liver tumour and the plan is to ablate it. I am also positive for PD-L1 so they will now monitor me and put me on Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) plus more chemo if I get a further recurrence. Not sure what but probably Gemcetabine / Carboplatin. I don’t know what effect EC had as I don’t have a baseline. With hindsight the spread probably occurred before the surgery I had in March. 

You`v been on my mind, Coddfish! I know you have been waiting for a long time for the scans...and understood what you were going through because I had few lesions on the liver too ( which proved to be benign). I hope some of the tension dissipated now that you have a new targeted treatment plan in place. Thank you for leting me know 

I just thought about it: didn`t they offer you Gemcetabine as maintenance after Keytruda ?

Not sure what they will offer me shu - I am of course hoping the chemo I have already had and the liver ablation I am about to have, have cleared it out for good. In reality of course I may get to find out sooner than I hope. Glad your lesions were benign. My ablation is booked for 13 Dec.
