Triple Negative Breast Cancer Day

Today is the first annual Triple Negative Breast Cancer Day. At 3pm local time, please take a minute to honor those women who have passed, and the women who are currently fighting this horrible disease. Do self checks and be your own advocate. Cancer doesn't discriminate by age, race, finances, or anything. Every 12 hours another woman is diagnosed with TNBC and that woman is a wife, mother, daughter, sister, or friend of someone.

Triple Negative is a much more agressive type of breast cancer. It's less understood, more likely to recur, and more difficult to treat. As of this time there are no targeted therapies or maintenance treatments to keep this from coming back-- just maintenance checks with an oncologist and prayer. PLEASE post this on your blog or facebook page. Awareness equals research and that's what we need. I need to live to see my son grow up and get married, and get wrinkly with my husband. #TNBCday
