"Unprecendented Partnership between the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation and Susan G. Komen for the Cure will Fund Collaborative Team at University of Alabama at Birmingham"
Yep, that's a $6.4 Million research project being funded! The project will be looking at an antibody that the researchers developed to target triple negative breast cancer tumors. A targeted therapy for Triple Negative.....that is awesome news and way overdue.
Another news story I saw today, unfortunately brings up controversy concerning legislation introduced a few weeks ago. Arguments are being made that the legislation gives false hope to young women and is unnecessary. I personally think it is wonderful to mention women under 40 in legislation and to bring awareness to the unique needs of young adults. So phooey on the politicians who think this is unnecessary and that breast cancer in women under 40 is so "rare".
