The term triple-negative breast cancer means that the cancer cells do not have estrogen or progesterone receptors and does not make too much of the protein called HER2. ( therefore the cells test "negative" on all 3 tests.)

Triple-negative breast cancer has less treatment options available than other types of invasive breast cancer. The reason being the cancer cells do not have enough estrogen or progesterone receptors or HER2 protein for hormone therapy or targeted drugs to work.

Treatment options are chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery mainly. But consulting clinician on time and starting the treatment is important. Regular follow up with doctor with lifestyle modifications and counselling will help. Consult an oncologist.

Hope our answer helps you.

Female | Lima Bailung

It seems like you are experiencing pain in your right breast. Pain in one breast without any lumps can be caused by things such as hormonal changes, injury, or muscle strain. The absence of lumps here makes it a less serious issue. You can take pain relievers like acetaminophen. If the pain continues or worsens, it is best to consult an oncologist for a more thorough checkup.

It is a fact that breasts can differ slightly in size, which is normal. However, in case of a case when one side of the breast is too big, painful, or swollen, you must be concerned. This may be a result of hormonal changes, cysts, or an infection. It is highly recommended that you visit an oncologist to get it checked and find out the right treatment.

I found a small lump under my right breast about 2 weeks ago. It’s not painful, but it feels firm and hasn’t gone away. I’m really scared it could be cancer. What should I do?

Female | 32

A new lump in the breast should always be evaluated by an oncologist. Most lumps are benign (like fibroadenomas or cysts), but it’s important to rule out malignancy. I’d advise getting an ultrasound of both breasts and a clinical examination. Depending on findings, a core biopsy may be needed.

Hello, my sister discovered she had a breast cancer in March 24, she had a successful lumpectomy in March 28, the pathology report said that tumor was 22 x 23 x 18 mm, has 5 involved lymph nodes, ER strong positive ( score 8 ), PR negative, HER2 negative... after that she did a pet/CT scan in May and the opinion of the radiologist written in the report was " patient with right breast cancer after surgery showing no evidence of hypermetabolic lesion distinctive for loco-regional resudal/recurrence of metastatic disease. I also attached the detailed results of the pet/ct itself. Now does it recommend for her to start chemotherapy or to do oncotype dx test first and btw she had 25 sessions of radiotherapy, so after the surgery ( in March) we had the radiotherapy in ( June) and now we don't know we have to start chemotherapy or do this test first since she has ER positive, HER2 negative and she's postmenopausal. She is 55 yrs old. Now I now your opinion, your advice and recommendations for us. And if she did the test and the result is law and chemotherapy is still recommended for her can she take at least a less intensive chemotherapy regimen.

Female | 55

From the information that you were able to share, it sounds like your sister had the necessary treatment done successfully for her breast cancer. Given that she is ERpositive and HER2 negative, the Oncotype DX test can be used to determine whether she requires chemotherapy. If the test indicates low risk, she might not have to undergo intensive chemotherapy. This check is based on the study of the genes present in cancer cells and helps to determine treatment methods. It is important to talk about these options with her oncologist so that the best solution can be found for her case.

Nipple pain can result from different causes including fluctuating hormone levels, infection, or skin diseases. Pay close attention to the following if you notice that your breasts are swollen, changing their color, or have a discharge. All these symptoms may need some more checking. If you feel that it is just a minor one and it does not affect you that much, you could simply wear a well-fitted bra and have a warm compress on. Moreover, staying clean by regularly taking baths and changing your undergarments is crucial. Regardless, if the pain continues to ache or become more intense, it is strongly advised to see a healthcare professional.

I am 29 year female and having pain I'm my right breast not on the whole breast only one side and when I press pain is more .

Female | Lima Bailung

Unilateral breast pain or the heavier side of the breast, when you press in this particular, can be caused by mastitis. Mastitis describes a situation where a milk duct becomes blocked or infected. Further symptoms may involve feeling hot, red, or swollen in the same area. It's crucial to see a healthcare provider who can make the correct diagnosis and treatment. They might give you antibiotics, or do compressions to reduce the pain and swelling with the last alternative. Self-care measures can be an adjunct to medical treatment, thus it should be a priority to seek guidance from a professional in healthcare.

I see that you are concerned about the severe pain in your right breast and the shrinking that you are experiencing. These symptoms might be because of cancer, among other reasons. A physical exam and imaging tests, such as mammography or ultrasonography, are essential to identify the root cause exactly. Such checks will aid your doctor in setting the path for the procedures you will have to undertake.

Female | 42

The fine needle aspiration report indicates a possibility of either a cellular fibroadenoma or intraductal carcinoma. These conditions can present as breast lumps and are usually benign or less concerning. It is normal to feel anxious, but the next step is important for clarity. An excisional biopsy is advisable to help differentiate between these two possibilities accurately. I encourage you to consult your oncologist for a thorough discussion and to explore any additional tests or imaging.
