Welcome Kate to the little TNBC club ....a club we would all prefer not to have joined but here we all are :) I am sure you will find support, understanding and a place to unburden here ...even at 2 o'clock in the morning ! I think neoadjuvant chemo is commonly used in TNBC especially where there are more than one tumour or tumours of a certain size . Oncologists take many factors into account when deciding the best course of action ... There are ladies here who have have neoadjuvant treatment who will be able to reassure you I'm sure . One good thing with neoadjuvant treatment is they can assess the response of the tumour to the chemo and adjust if needed . If you're not sure you could have another chat with your oncologist ; things happen so quickly and it can be quite overwhelming but I'm sure they will be able to outline the reasons behind your treatment plan ....and if you're not comfortable you could try a second opinion for peace of mind . In any event , all the very best this week as you start your fight with the unwelcome intruder ; I'm sure you will discover you are surrounded by more love and support than you could ever have imagined . Thinking of you x Karen
