| Understanding Triple Negative Breast Cancer | |
| It is now commonly understood that breast cancer is not one form of cancer, but many different "subtypes" of cancer. | These subtypes of breast cancer are
generally diagnosed based upon the presence, or lack of, three "receptors"
known to fuel most breast cancers: estrogen receptors, progesterone
receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). The most
successful treatments for breast cancer target these receptors.
Unfortunately, none of these receptors are found in women with triple negative breast cancer. In other words, a triple negative breast cancer diagnosis means that the offending tumor is estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative and HER2-negative, thus giving rise to the name "triple negative breast cancer." On a positive note, this type of breast cancer is typically responsive to chemotherapy. Because of its triple negative status, however, triple negative tumors generally do not respond to receptor targeted treatments. Depending on the stage of its diagnosis, triple negative breast cancer can be particularly aggressive, and more likely to recur than other subtypes of breast cancer. - TNBC Foundation |
A movement started when a high school friend was recently diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. She is presently fighting this terrible disease while smiling, being a wife, friend, daughter and mother to her two young children. Her closest of friends decided to "do something". There are several things they are doing to help with triple negative breast cancer research, a benefit to support triple negative breast cancer research in honor of our friend Amy Field will be held on October 15th (www.amys-trip.com for additional information) and also they have designed this beautiful bag that is being sold to benefit research specifically for triple negative breast cancer at Boston's leading Cancer Care and Research Center.
The Clean Green Bag Co. is proud to be a part of this movement to support research for triple negative breast cancer. We manufactured the bags and are also selling them to help raise awareness and funds to fight triple negative breast cancer. 100% of the cost of your purchase is being donated to triple negative breast cancer research. Hopefully with your generosity my friend and maybe yours or someone you know will benefit from the money we can raise to fight this terrible disease.
