Question
QUESTION: My wife Mrs.Radhamani aged 45 years , is now diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and presently suffering from multiple bilateral lung metastasis.Doctors advising us to try for platin drug which has good controlling effect for triple negative cancer,Is it possible to cure triple negative breast cancer which is in very advanced stage.

ANSWER: This is now unfortunately a stage 4 breast cancer that has spread to her lungs. Such a cancer is at present unfortunately impossible to cure but it may (no guarantee, sorry) be possible to control it - for a longer or shorter period of time, how long is impossible to determine in advance at present - by the use of chemotherapy as suggested. That is the only thing that it is possible for me to tell you now.
