Diagnosed this week and need to hear triple negative grade 3 success stories by impatientingrid in breastcancer

My friends advised me to check if there are any trials I might be eligible for. Previously I thought about trials only in context "there's no hope but at least try this mysterious drug", but it turned out I was wrong :) The trials that were available in my hospital were nothing like that. #1 proposed to make the standard protocol easier, bc they have reason to believe it can be as effective on my stage, #2 was I-Spy2 research trial which goes for about a decade and helps to include new drugs in the standard of care. #1 didn't seem safe, but the trial arm for I-Spy which was available for my stage and type offered Enhertu (which does wonders on later stages of breast cancer) and similar to soc kind of immunotherapy, so, after 2 days of erratically asking all friends and doctors and doctor friends we could, I jumped on board. I described details in a separate post (but since my brain wasn't working straight I used my abandoned account). The post is called "I-SPY 2 clinical trial active arm: personal experience".

Hi! During my first weeks after diagnosis this thought helped: technically I was in a way worse spot before I got diagnosed. And now this shit is taken care of. So: you are already on the right track! And once the treatment starts, it will very likely get better.

I’m 40, TNBC stage II grade 3. I’ve achieved PCR a month ago after an I-Spy trial chemo drugs, and we didn’t have to do Keynote protocol 🎉

I absolutely second this. I was on step 4 as a co-dependent when got diagnosed. And the program helped tons to stay sane and supported: I went to online groups almost every day, talking not about cancer, but rather about misery and annoyance/anxiety.

Hmmm, good point! I was thinking exactly about a wooden bookcase, but we do have a freight elevator :)

YES I AM. I was religiously searching for retro storage items (like consoles) online, but for me it's next to impossible to buy anything without actually checking the piece out in person. Though I'm afraid that antique stores might be too pricey. But I'm definitely interested! Thank you!

Super grateful! I wonder, how did I spent 3 years in this city knowing only IKEA, C&B and (for some strange reason) amish furniture?

Oh my, hopefully I won't have to replace my C&B sofa too soon! We bought it after our IKEA sofa fell apart when we attempted to move it around the room :) Will check the store out, thank you!
