Got my TNBC result yesterday and joined this group today. Had a partial L breast masectomy and sentinel node biopsy (2 nodes removed) on 22/8 as had 9mm tumour (Grade 3)..Op results show clear margin...

Hi Leanne
Thanks for your reply. I haven't been tested for BRAC 1 although my mum passed from disease after a 34 year journey losing one breast in 1974, the second in 2004 and then mets to lung in 2008. She never had radiotherapy or chemo as part of her treatment regime. Testing has never been suggested and the surgeon never spoke about bi-lat just a partial masectomy - even after TNBC result - testing andor bi-lat hasn't been mentioned. Yes, I have the My Journey kit - really good resource and I'm glad I joined bnca which has been really useful. I'm at Flinders and it has been good so far. I'm just in information overload at the moment and I can't get over how different everyone's treatment is even when it appears we are at same stage, etc. I still have some big decisions to make.
I wish you well with the rest of the reconstruction.
