Watch the Scary TNBC Language!!!

I just got a news release from the University of Connecticut about gene splicing and how that can lead to triple-negative breast cancer. It's the beginning of what could be promising research for a targeted therapy for TNBC.

BUT, in the middle of the release is this utterly outrageous sentence:

Triple negatives are the worst breast cancers: they have the highest rates of metastasis, worst prognosis, and no targeted treatments. 

My edit

Triple negative breast cancer can be more aggressive than hormone-positive cancer, but it responds well to chemotherapy. Metastatic TNBC so far has no targeted treatment.

Later in the release, they call TNBC "this most dreaded form of breast cancer."

I am livid! This is irresponsible and wrong. I was diagnosed in June 2006, 13.5 years ago. I had a second cancer in June 2015, 4.5 years ago. I'm doing fine. I didn't like the experience, but I survived, as do most women with TNBC. 

Aurghhhhh.

Acupressure can reduce effects of breast cancer treatment.

Acupressure improved some of the most common side effects of breast cancer treatment, including chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and poor sleep, according to a study published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum.
