Hi all i was wondering if anyone has had the same experience as me with Triple Negative breast cancer? I was diagnosed in Febuary and have had 12 weeks of Taxol chemo and been for an ultrasound and the tumour hasnt changed at all. I am feeling so disappointed

Is your Onc running Cancer Markers with your regular blood tests? If they have reduced or stable - that could be seen as a good sign xx
Everyone responds differently to chemo - your Onc should be able to explain this all to you .... there is talk of immunotherapy drugs like Keytruda being useful with Triple Negative - but it doesn't suit everyone .... but definitely ask your Onc about it (mentioned here) as immunotherapy is considered the gold standard of treatment in many types of cancers now.
