Hi Kerrieanne,
This is Annie from BCNA. I'm really pleased to see that other women have jumped in to chat with you, and that you're feeling a bit more positive.
I thought I would point out that unfortunately any type of breast cancer can come back, not just triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
We have a webpage on triple negative breast cancer, which highlights a couple of points which I thought you may be interested in:
- TNBC responds really well to chemotherapy
- Although targeted treatments are not yet available for women with TNBC, it is very treatable. Five years after diagnosis, women with TNBC are no more likely to experience a recurrence than women with other types of breast cancer. In the longer term (over 10 years), it is possible that a recurrence is less likely in women with triple negative breast cancer.
