I was 49 when diagnosed. No major health issues. I get treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN. From what I understand survival is over 80% with surgery alone. So that is the best option.

Well between 75%-83% survival with surgery alone. it depends on the source. Immunotherapy /Chemo and radiation only add single digits to that surgery number.

Yes, I did chemo, then surgery, then more chemo. Thanks to Mayo, Jacksonville, I got the right advice, after getting wrong advice from first oncologist at another hospital.
Treatment is very different for us, so really appreciate your reply. Cleveland Clinic is working on a TNBC vaccine. Good things happening. Your treatment sounds very positive and you have every reason to be optimistic. All the best.
