hi there @Nikkilee I was diagnosed with TNBC in May 2016 aged 43 and like @Koukla I had stage 2a grade 3 (3cm tumor Left boob) no lymph nodes involved and scans all clear. I had 4 rounds of AC chemo and 4 rounds of paclitaxel two weeks apart over 16 weeks and also like @Koukla decided to have a double mastectomy (Left done first then Right one 6 months later as a private patient in the public system) having the mastectomy meant I didn't have to have radiation as well as radiation would of been a logistical nightmare for me. I did the double as that's what my guts told me to do. No regrets from at all with that just on the very long Qld wait list though for recon. My best advice is listen to your team, don't google anything about TNBC, it responds really well to chemotherapy, and listen to your gut instinct as well. Best of luck with it all. There are a few of us on here who have had TNBC but also many that have had the same chemo meds who will all be able to give you good advice on any questions you have. Please reach out we are all in the same boat on this forum and all give each other plenty of support too. Biggest hug. Margie. xx
