Everyone's stuff is so different, so of course you and your team know best. I had Stage 3B TNBC, diagnosed with a three month old son, so I can relate. Hugs and so sorry about your mom!

I went through UCLA and we did a different thing --

My team advocated for a single mascectomy, since the tumors had not reached my other side, despite the cancer being in my lymph nodes, chest wall, and skin. It hasn't gotten into my blood.

It didn't make sense at the time, but since all the treatments were so extreme it was good to have less surgery.

6 years out I am still alive, with no reoccurrences, and side effect damage that I am okay to live with.

Also, since we knew with the advanced spread that chemo wouldn't reach all of it, and we added max radiation and oral chemo.

I've exhausted many future treatment options, so having a surgery if something comes up is a good front line of defense down the road.

I am glad you are here, best wishes
