Joan Lunden Diagnosed With Triple Negative Breast Cancer After an All-Clear Mammogram

A week ago, news traveled fast among the breast cancer community that former Good Morning America co-host, Joan Lunden has been diagnosed with breast cancer, the "aggressive kind." What that means to many of us Triple Negative Breast Cancer survivors, could it be TNBC?  Our speculation was confirmed when Joan revealed during an interview with CNN News that she did indeed have Triple Negative Breast Cancer just after having a clear mammogram. As a precautionary measure, an ultrasound had detected two small spots and a biopsy was taken.  "Lunden said her tumor was picked up after an ultrasound, which is used for women who have dense fibrous breast tissue where cancers are not always detectible on mammograms." 
Wishing Joan the very best in her journey and back to good health.
