Triple Negative BC

Mum is 74 and has triple neg BC. Grade 2. Tumour is 2.5 cm. Plan is lumpectomy then consideration for chemo. Then radiotherapy. Why consideration. I have read everything and it is aggressive and needs chemo. Prognosis is poor. Also linked to BRCA1 gene so do j need to be worried ? 

  • Have found out that TNBC is usually grade 3. Having to wait until 5th October for lumpectomy. That will be 6 weeks since initial investigations started. Is that within timeframes. ? Thank you
