What is Basal-type Breast Cancer?

WOW, thanks Penni, I am humbled by your response!!

I apologise that I could not shed any light on your question, but there is one thing that I have learnt through my journey and I will share with you....

In the beginning I used to just sit quietly and take it all that i was told and not ask questions and accepted everything that I learnt as gospel.

I now know that even medical people do not have all the answers and if they do not have the answers, I push, probe, dig and ask someone else.  My advice to you is to do the same until someone can tell you what you want to know. If the surgeon that is assigned to you does not know, ask for another one to talk to.  I know this is easy for me to say, now that I am out the other side!!  And I know that you are still probably coming to terms with what had happened to you, so hang in there hon. 

I have some wonderful friends that have had a triple neg cancer and they are doing really well years after treatment.  Also, from my understanding (again this is limited) triple neg cancers respond well to chemo and also the longer the time since diagnosis the less likely cancer is to reoccur which is a good thing.

Great to meet you and thank you for your kind words.
