Triple negative breast cancer

Hi everyone. I am new to the group. I got a TNBC diagnosis just before christmas aged 52. Have had 4 rounds of EC. MRI just before round 4 showed only minimal shrinkage. More pain in lump since round 4 too. Moving on to weekly pacitaxal and carboplatin this week. Would love to hear from anyone who had a poor response at first and had a good outcome in the end. Love to everyone.

  • Hello Kitanica and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    Although the shrinkage was minimal, it's still reassuring to hear that it has reduced in size and hopefully the pacitaxel and carboplatin you're moving on to next week will continue the progress that has been made so far.

    Hopefully some of our members with the same diagnosis will pop by soon to share their experiences and advice but do feel free to join in on any discussions you find about TNBC when using the 'search forum' option in the purple bar above.

    If you have any questions about the next stage of your treatment, our team of cancer nurses are just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m and 5 p.m.

    Kind regards,
