Chemo for Triple Negative Breast Cancer?

Hi,

Two years ago I had lumpectomy and rads for hormone + IDC.

This year I was diagnosed with TNBC and have had DMX.

I saw the oncologist who said I didn't need chemo as the tumour was so small (they think it was all removed at the biopsies, as they could only find DCIS after the op).

But everything I've read says you should have chemo for TNBC.

Interested in what everyone else has been told!

Thanks

  • Welcome to our forum, 6cjg.

    It can be quite confusing to be told one thing and read something else entirely so I'm sure a lot of our members can appreciate how you're feeling right now so hopefully you will get talking with others who can relate soon as sharing experiences does seem to help.

    Also, if you feel that speaking with someone medically trained may help, please know that our nurses are available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

    Wishing you all the best,
