As a HER2+++, I look forward to the day when the triple negatives are lucky enough to have as many possibilities for treatment as HER2's do.
When reading this thread, I wonder what it will take as progress happens with each type of bc for people to truly consider the possibility that the most difficult and toxic treatments (taking the "medicine that tastes the worst", or "throwing the book at it") may not be the most intelligent or most heroic thing to do.
Although it will take more time to truly verify which treatments work best, I hope this study helps physicians and patients to also see how much difference it can make in our lives when milder therapies are legitimately used -- especially considering that chemotherapy "works" in a very limited number of patients -- as I understand it, in less than 20%.
