Downtown 140 is selling The Soup Family Cookbook to help raise monies to find a cure for our friends impacted by Triple Negative Breast Cancer. The cost is $15 per copy and 100% of the dollars goes to The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation, a registered 501 C3 charity. Checks should be made payable to:
The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation.
When friends, Helen and Fred Compton learned that their friend Nancy Ochsenhirt had been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in 2005, they began delivering pots of soup in hope they could somehow communicate their support and encouragement during
Nancy's treatments and recovery. With the help of many volunteers and friends, The Soup Family Cookbook became a vehicle for awareness and hope.
About Triple Negative Breast Cancer
It is now commonly understood that breast cancer is not one form of cancer, but many different "subtypes" of cancer. These subtypes of breast cancer are generally diagnosed based upon the presence, or lack of, three "receptors" known to fuel most breast cancers: estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). The most successful treatments for breast cancer target these receptors.
Unfortunately, none of these receptors are found in women with triple negative breast cancer. In other words, a triple negative breast cancer diagnosis means that the offending tumor is estrogen receptor-negative; progesterone receptor-negative and HER2-negative, thus giving rise to the name "triple negative breast cancer".
On a positive note, this type of breast cancer is typically responsive to chemotherapy. Because of its triple negative status, however, triple negative tumors generally do not respond to receptor-targeted treatments. Depending upon the stage of the diagnosis, triple negative breast cancer can be particularly aggressive, and more likely to recur than other subtypes of breast cancer.
Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation is devoted to finding targeted treatment for triple negative breast cancer. With your help and that of Downtown 140 in this venue along with our annual " Night 4 Pink " events in October, we will find a cure.
Cookbooks can be purchased by email to downtown140@windstream.net or by calling the restaurant at 330.655.2940
