Hello Tarnya, I was surprised to read that your team wouldn't consider mastectomy without family history or a faulty gene? Like you, I had TNBC (stage 2 grade 3) and had a double mastectomy by choice and with my surgeon's agreement. Perhaps you are a lower stage/grade although we don't usually find out until after surgery pathology. Can you get a second opinion? TNBC is aggressive - but on the plus side, I am 4 1/2 years past treatment and clear of disease. Stay in touch. Michelle x
