Triple negative is a terrible prognosis. I’m so sorry she went through that. It is so wonderful she survived.

I didn’t achieve pcr, but hopefully my double mastectomy removed all the cancer. I often consider about how much the cancer would have spread without Herceptin. I don’t think the previous poster , u/gedmathteacher , realizes that triple positive was very aggressive and deadly before Herceptin, which has only been around for twenty years. My husband met one of the researchers who discovered Herceptin, Dennis Slamon, and discussed my therapy with him when I was first diagnosed. TCHP is standard treatment for the vast majority of triple positive cases. The H in TCHP is Herceptin, and TCHP is listed in the first line of the graph.
Herceptin can go by other names, Trastuzumab, Herzuma and Ontruzant, so maybe that’s confusing.

Stay strong! You got this. I have triple positive. I know the battle is long and hard with TNBC.

I also had triple positive breast cancer. Most of my treatment was the same, but two years in, I’m only on Anastrozole. I’m amazed and so grateful for how effective Herceptin is!
I love this timeline. It puts a wonderful visual to the treatment.

You guys don’t get one of those battery powered safes and then lose the key and then let the battery die. All my shit is in there. Wedding rings. Documents. Fuck.

Cup of coffee, looking out the kitchen window at the sun rising over the mountains, NPR letting me know there’s already stuff going on in the world. My answer is like so many others!

Someone I knew was impaled in the heart by a garage door spring. Your life is worth the cost of hiring a professional.
