I had TNBC stage 2 tumor was 5.8cm which in canada is 2B
I had chemo first then surgery. I had a masectomy because was close to chest wall and because it was TNBC lobular I thought this was the best for me. I had it in left breast. I had to have radiation after surgery because it was a large tumor. I had 3 weeks of radiation.
After that I was on Xeloda because chemo shrunk my tumor by half which was good, so I was on that for 9 months.
They also fave me Zometa infusions every 6 months for 3 years.
I was 67 at time of diagnosis. Helps with bone loss and they believe reoccurrencecof cancer possibly to bones.
This was the canada protocol so yours may be different.
Take care
