Triple Negative Breast Cancer Day lifting supports for a cure


A year ago if we asked me if we was means to see myself where we am today, a answer would be no.

On Feb 29, 2012, we left work early for a mammogram and ultrasound on a puzzling pile in my left breast. we didn’t lapse to work that day. we was diagnosed with breast cancer during a immature age of 30.

Soon after my diagnosis we found out we had triple disastrous breast cancer, that is disastrous for 3 receptors ordinarily found in tumors such as estrogen, her2 and progesterone. This form of breast cancer is assertive and disproportionately affects immature women underneath 40, African American women and women who have a genetic turn called BRCA1, that we have.

Finding out we have this illness is frightful and during times, overwhelming. We don’t have are many diagnosis options for other forms of breast cancer such as tamoxifen or Herceptin. We have surgery, chemotherapy, deviation and request that once in remission, it never returns.

Every 30 minutes, a lady is diagnosed with triple disastrous breast cancer. The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation works feverishly to make certain no lady who is diagnosed with triple disastrous breast cancer is alone – and is lifting supports to work towards a cure. One approach is by a grassroots transformation to lift supports called Triple Negative Breast Cancer Day that is on Mar 3, 2013.

Today we am in discount and have finished all my treatment. It was a unequivocally tough year, though positively a support we perceived from TNBC Foundation has helped me by each step. we am unapproachable to work with a Foundation to lift income for investigate for a heal and make certain no immature lady ever has to be frightened or feel alone when faced with this diagnosis.
