Hers was advanced Ovarian and mine, TNBC. My sister is now in remission and I finished the chemotherapy 5 ...

Hi Corinna,
I am in a similar position to you. I have TNBC diagnosed end of April, Lumpectomy in May, and now I have nearly completed chemo.
I am also waiting on the results of my genetics test. My surgeon has suggested that if I was positive for the gene, then I would have a risk reducing bilateral mastectomy. If negative, I would have radiation treatment.
I have been thinking more and more about the risk of recurrance, and if I had radiation then I may not be able to have a reconstruction later on if I needed to have a mastectomy. At the moment I think I would like to have a reconstruction if I had a mastectomy.
I agree with wanting to go with the less invasive radiation therapy though.
This is really not very helpful to you - but I just wanted to say I feel the weight of having to make these decisions that you just dont want to have to make!
I wish you well. Hoping that the right information will come your way and that you can come to a decision that you are at peace with (as much as you can be).
