This one caught my attention.

In 2015 my (now ex) girlfriend was diagnosed with TNBC. I obviously researched the hell out of it to gain as much of an understanding as I possibly could as a non-medical professional as I'm sure anyone would, and most of my reading suggested that it was mostly African American women and youngish white ladies who tend to get this.

As far as I know, she had used permanent die at least once in her early twenties. Thankfully less than a year later and after chemo and surgery, she fully recovered.

You might find my work based on the HN front page of interest: <https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/110437783957361794>. Note that this is a subset of total HN activity, though a significant subset.

There's also Whaly.io's retrospectives based on the HN API:

It doesn't imply metastasis in the way you're thinking about it. Just because a cancer cell has moved once doesn't mean it will aggressively keep moving to other organs.

Honestly doctors won't investigate too hard because the recommended course of action is likely going to be the same.

Anyways the longtime leading TNBC model cell line (which came from an African American woman, IIRC) turned out to be "likely originating from a melanoma".
