Cancer timeline: treatment for stage 3c triple positive breast cancer (all cancers are unique, this is my personal timeline; similar diagnoses will have a similar, but not identical, timeline) [OC]IdealIdeas t1_jc1brlp wrote
What does being triple positive mean? Did you get tested 3 times before you were finally sure you had cancer?

Triple-positive breast cancer is a type of breast cancer. It has cancer cells that test positive for the following three features:
(1) estrogen receptors (2) progesterone receptors (3) a larger amount of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) protein
Triple positive breast cancer is very aggressive, but because we know three things helping it to grow, we have more weapons available to prohibit its growth.
