π Who doesnβt love a backstory!
was started while I was undergoing my first round of chemotherapy. It became a creative outlet while I was unable to work. It also served as my primary source of income for medical bills. Iβve been blessed by the support of market organizers, market-goers and friendors as I entered the market community during treatment. Thank you to all!
During the month of March I want to give back and have selected as the charity of choice as they are the only global organization that gives every dollar to TNBC research!
π About TNBC
TNBC represents about 15% of breast cancer. It is commonly understood that most breast cancers are characterized by the presence of receptors like estrogen, progesterone and HER2. These receptors are not present in men and women with TNBC (hence the name, triple negative). Most treatments for breast cancers are aimed at treating the receptors which makes TNBC difficult to treat.

Three common features of triple-negative breast cancer
π Triple-negative breast cancer is considered to be more aggressive and have a poorer prognosis than other types of breast cancer.
π It tends to be higher grade than other types of breast cancer.
π Anyone can be diagnosed with TNBC but research shows its most common in young people, black and Hispanic women as well as people with the BRCA1 mutation.
It is unknown why I have TNBC. It is scary and frustrating. We need more research π§«π¬to prevent, treat and understand TNBC.
