TNBC, stage 1, grade 3, 2018.
They changed the protocol after I started. I had AC and Taxol. Current standard of care is Taxol/Carboplatin with Pembrolizumab and AC with Pembro, and 9 Pembro after surgery.
I was very fortunate to get complete pathological response to chemo, there was no cancer detected when they did my surgery. I am 5 years and 3 months out of treatment.
Wishing you well!

I am on Docetaxel and Carboplatin with Pembrolizumab. I had my first round a week ago, and due for the next in 2 weeks.

For those undergoing chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), common chemotherapy drugs include:

- Taxanes: Docetaxel (Taxotere) and paclitaxel protein-bound (Abraxane) prevent cells from growing and dividing
- Anthracyclines: These drugs stop cells from dividing and create damage within a cell.

- Capecitabine (Xeloda): Slows down cancer cell growth.

These drugs are often given in different combinations. If you have specific concerns or questions, discussing them with your healthcare provider is always a good idea.
