TNBC without Gene

Hi 

Curious to know if anyone is diagnosed with TNBC without the braca gene? Which is the same for me! Currently going through chemotherapy. If anyone else can share there journey ️
 

Thanks,

  • Hi Rebecca, at age 35 I was diagnosed tnbc but genetic testing came back negative for braca which actually really shocked me, my father was half polish and there is a history on that side of my family of bc although mostly from years ago aunties and cousins etc.

     

    ive listened to a few expert discussions on tnbc and I do tend to think there may well be a genetic mutation that is not currently identified through existing testing measures, but obviously can't confirm this either way!

     

    hope you are doing well I have completed treatment and got all clear this year only to now be slightly brought down by setbacks as a result of complications with the treatment I had but I'm amazed I'm here ready to fight for another day, one day at a time and be in the moment as often as possible!

     

    sending you best wishes my darling xx 

  • Hiya [@Rebecca31]‍ 

    i have recently been diagnosed with TNBC too, and just received my genetic test back to show I don't carry the genes either, I'm currently about to have my 4th cycle of chemo this Wednesday coming and due to see my breast surgeon after cycle 5 to discuss my surgical options
