Triple Negative Breast Cancer: What treatments are you having?

Hi @erikamilena. Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I was diagnosed with a subtype of triple negative breast cancer on Sept 27, 2024. I had a bilateral mastectomy on October 23, 2024. I did not need chemo or radiation. I chose to have reconstruction, with tissue expanders inserted during my mastectomy surgery. I just went through surgery on March 5 to swap out tissue expanders for implants and also had fat grafting of my stomach to fill in around the breasts. Hope this info is helpful to you. Let me know if you have other questions about the process. ( I am 59. My cancer was LGASC stage 1b.)

Didn’t realize you recently had a swap-out. How are you doing now? I admire you and others that have the courage to go through reconstruction! I’m still feeling pain and tender from BMX and hematoma. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks so much for your reply, in the first appointment with my oncologist she said that only surgery could be an option for me if there is no metastasis to other areas, but I am hesitant about that, I am thinking that chemo will give me some peace of mind but I am also considering about the side effects. So far the test results are ok and I am still waiting for genetic testing.
