Hi Anonymous,

I am wondering what your question is. Do you have a specific question about radiation treatments? Have you talked to your doctor? Can you provide us with more information?

 

Thanks,

Missie

I also have triple neg. breast cancer. My first treatment included two types of chemotherapy, lumpectomy and radiation. As a maater of fact, I was diagnosed four years ago today. I had a recurrance in august of this year and ended up having a mastectomy. I am also taking taxotere infusion every three weeks, I was also taking xeloda for a time, but was taken off that as my body couldnt handle it. Dont let the triple neg. part of this scare you too bad though. It just means that there are no hormonal treatments that will do you any good and you will have to depend on chemotherpy. Just remember that there are new treatments all the time and they have learned so much more about triple neg. breast cancers in the past couple of years. Hope this info. helped. Good luck.
