Hi there, I’m new to this site and to be honest very scared. I had surgery a week ago to have a cancer removed (lumpectomy). Results are in. Clear margins and clear nodes (that’s the good news) Grade ...
Welcome @Jezabel. I can't comment on the tnbc but there's a lot of ladies on here who can.

Well, a supposed 2.5cm tumour was in fact a 4.5cm tumour with no clear margins, and no node involvement became 3 nodes positive so back in I went. In the end, it's your body and your peace of mind but do listen to the surgeon's advice (get a second opinion if you need to) and take it from there.
