Triple Negative Breast Cancer: What treatments are you having?

I entered the data for my situation and the algorithm yielded an 84.6% survival at 5 years for 'surgery only.' Adding 5 years of hormone therapy only changed that number to 84.8%. Which is only an insignificant 0.2% differential. I'm older so that might account for the algorithm result. But I find it interesting as I took the 'surgery only' path.

I should add that, while 84.6% odds of survival over 5 years for the 'surgery only' option I took are interesting, I also had the OncotypeDX genetic assay and that yielded 95% odds of no locoregional recurrence within 9 years which was more reassuring.
Speaking of algorithms, I entered my DEXA score in the FRAX calculator and, if I lose 10 pounds, my risk of fracture goes up! Take all these things with a grain of salt as you are unique, and not an average, but good results are still welcome.
