Hi Samantha
I was diagnosed last October with TNBC My lump was 40 mm and a grade three. I had a lumpdectomy (large breasts) which reduced my left size by about a cup. I had one lymph node involved just. So I had four rounds of Doxy and clyphos ( I just say D&C ) which I tolerated ok. I then had 35 sessions of radiotheraphy. I am 50 so I suppose the younger you are the harder they hit it. I went public all the way and had no problems. I have heard of one lady being out of pocket by a lot. I would ask your private health cover How much they will reimburse. I think you have to do what you feel is right for you. Our cancer is all different and that means our care will also be different. I say ask questions write things down and make sure you are doing what you feel comfortable with. Wishing you the best
