Thank you so much for this video. I was diagnosed with TNBC in April at the age of 30. My breast tumour was only 2.5cm when it was biopsied but had already spread to a lot of lymph nodes, the pectoralis muscles, and my chest wall. My surgeon was shocked at how much my cancer had spread from that small tumour, and reckoned it had happened within a very short space of time. I had to start chemotherapy with immunotherapy straight away and this week I will be halfway through chemo, round 8/16. I have my midway scans next week and I'm praying for a good response to chemo, especially as I have no idea what can be done for me surgically. I tested negative for all genetic mutations but am awaiting a final result for the TP53 gene mutation and praying that's negative as well. It has been incredibly difficult and devastating being given this diagnosis at a young age, and treatment is tough. I'm hoping I can come out the other side 🙏
Thank you so, so very much for that information. I am a black woman and I go my first diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer at age 36. I have a family history of ovarian, prostate and breast cancers. I live in Barbados. So this helps me to understand this much better. I've had 2 recurrences since first being diagnosed in 2019.
Dear User from Barbados' I used to get bent. That you'd be urged to reveal your race. While filling out medical forms. I wondered why was that information so important? I angrily thought, are they being nosey, perhaps even racist? I'd even refuse to fill in that question. For that reason.
As we move along, through this ( cough-cough) Journey of breast cancer. You become aware just how important the role of our genetics plays. Not just by our family. But our race as well. The big question is why is triple negative. Seen more often amongst black ladies? It becomes obvious there be a specific genetic marker. Certain kinds of cancers tend to develop with. This information. May end up playing a role in treatments. & we can pray eventually a cure. For this aggressive type 😢of cancer. Barbado's lady your story cut right to the point. For now you of course can warn the women in your family. But to all young black women. To routinely examine ones breasts. Get those yearly mammogram's done. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers I sure hope they can stop your cancer spread.
We're really glad the information was helpful to you. Facing triple-negative breast cancer, especially with recurrences, is incredibly challenging. Black women are at higher risk of triple-negative breast cancer, which is unfair on so many levels. Thank you for watching.
I have seen a lot of videos from doctors here on RUclips that explain how to starve cancer.I wish you all the best God bless you
Thank you very much for the video. I'm a newly diagbosed with TNBC. After some searching online, I came across some research on targeted treatments for TNBC based on its subtypes. Please can you make a video about these subtypes. Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Griggs, for your continuous support of breast cancer (health) and awareness.

My sister has been suffering from triple-negative breast cancer for two years. After this period of treatment, I have learned that there is only a 10% chance of survival for people with this condition.

We're glad to hear that our channel has provided you with additional information and support. Continued prayers for your healing and positive results from your upcoming pathology report.
Thank you Doctor! 💕

Hi Doctor , this is very helpful video especially the point you made that TNBC will not be gone completely with Chemo therapy which is big awareness for us . Can you please some put lights on latest advancement/research happening for TNBC for stage 4 disease or recurrence of disease ?
Thanks for writing. There are a lot of newer treatments for Stage IV (4) triple-negative breast cancer. The options for treatment depend on several different factors, including whether the patient has a BRCA mutation, whether the tumor has a PDL-1 protein expression, and the previous treatments that were received.
I was successfully treated for TNBC in 2023. I had a lumpectomy that successfully removed the remaining tumor. However the side effects of the treatment has been horrendous! Keytruda caused immune responses that affected my urinary system that took months to figure out was the cause of cystitis, incontinence, blocked ureter, and lots of pain. The only treatment has been steroids but the symptoms all come back once I’ve tapered down. Additionally, the capecitabine caused hand-foot syndrome that I am still struggling with. While I did not notice any CIPN at the beginning of chemo, it certainly set in once I was just taking the 2 meds mentioned. I finally refused to take anymore of either med last December. A 2nd opinion from another oncology group agreed that I should not take either drug any longer since my side effects were so bad, my tumor try shrunk so small & they know they got it all. My lymph nodes were also clear. While I’m feeling so blessed to be ‘cancer free’ dealing with these other issues are a struggle and it’s been very depressing. I’ve been told both reactions are rare & wonder if anyone else is experiencing them? It’s been ongoing…..
Thank you for sharing your story with the Yerbba community. You have had a really rough time for sure. The hope is that you'll recover from all these side effects. Some people have a stronger reaction to anti-cancer drugs. These are not the same people who are sensitive to antibiotics or other commonly-used drugs, so it's hard to know if someone will have a reaction or reactions such as you have. Many people think that immunotherapy is less toxic than "traditional" chemotherapy, but when side effects happen, they can be really hard to deal with. Wishing you the best as your healing continues.
Yes I have Adrenal Insufficiency...And Tachycardia...😢
Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much now i understand better i was just dignosed in my left breast with Triple -Negative bc , i had HER2 cancer in my right breast 12years ago and did all the chemo and radiation.
Thank you for sharing your journey. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed with a new diagnosis, especially after going through treatment 12 years ago. We're glad the video has helped you understand things better.
Thank you for the information so far i have done 6 rounds of chem just did mascetomy ending of may 2024 will take anothe 2 round of chem is it compulsory i do radiotherapy.thanks
Greetings Doctor ,.Please make a video on Tripple positive Breast cancer .
Thanks for writing. We have a video on triple-positive breast cancer here: ruclips.net/video/0BCgaRk4AHw/видео.html
Hello Doctor thanks for clear picture on TNBC. I Was diagnosed on march 2023. Had 8 cycle of chemo with caeboplatin and lumpectomy Achieved PCR and did 18 rounds of radiation. Now on 4 months follow up. Whay will be my chance of reoccurance doctor? I am brca negative and i was stage 2a. Awaiting your reply
Although it is difficult to give you a precise number regarding your risk of recurrence without being part of your medical team, the complete response, the relatively low stage, and the treatment you received all bode well in terms of your prognosis. It is more likely that you won't have a recurrence than you will.
This explanation for TNBC points out what it is and what it is not . Is there any further classification when pathological findings are done when the tumour is removed and closley examined? I had TNBC with two different rounds of (2 drugs each) Keytruda, surgery and radiation. There was no evidence that chemo stopped the growth of the tumour. Spindle cell was determined to be present in the biopsy. As always, your videos are presented so well. Thank you for all your time and efforts
The most common test performed in people with TNBC is PD-L1. In people with advanced disease, immunotherapy like pembrolizumab (brand name: Keytruda) can be given to people whose tumor has PD-L1. The other test that is done, usually with a patient blood test, is BRCA1/2.
Nice story lam come from Philippines i have breast cancer,heart,lungs stages 4 now my problem financial ian poor Philippines no free medication by cancer patients always pay i have no saving money pls.kind you help me by money contenue my kimo therapy second season june 9.2024.thank you
This sounds really hard. We’re sorry to hear about your struggles. We are not able to provide financial assistance. There may be local and international organizations that can help. Look for charities and support groups that offer financial aid to cancer patients in the Philippines. We wish you strength and hope in your journey.
