Anyone Have Any Information on Treatment for Triple Negative Stage 4 Breast Cancer?

Question by Debra: Anyone have any information on treatment for triple negative stage 4 breast cancer?
My sister, 55yrs old, diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in April 2010. Had mastectomy, 3 positive lymph nodes (under arm), had 12 weeks of grueling chemotherapy and 5 weeks of radiation treatment. Now found out she has lung metastasis and bone. Just when our family thought she’d beat this disease. Interested in hearing from a survivor or an oncologist. Any promising clinical trials? She lives in LA and is a wonderful person.
