Triple Negative Surgery Options

I was diagnosed with triple negative BC in November 2020. I’m almost at the end of my chemo (DDAC followed by Taxol). I was diagnosed stage 1B, grade 2 left side only. Gene testing came
back with nothing. I’ve been told I can have lumpectomy only plus radiation and it will be just as effective as Mastectomy. Struggling to decide what to do. Would love to hear others stories with tnbc and if you’ve had reoccurrence. Thank you
