I was diagnosed late 2021 and that was before Keytruda was approved as included in the protocol for TNBC with BRCA mutation. But my treatment was somewhat similar. I had chemo first (1 every 3 weeks - 4 treatments) then weekly for 12 weeks; thankfully good response to chemo and lumps shrunk, then it was bilateral mastectomy; but since miniscule amt found in lymph node pathology - 3 weeks of daily radiation. Now I'm on Lynparza - hopefully only for a year. I just started and so far no side effects; but I've heard side effects may not appear until close the end of the first month of usage. We'll see.

Thanks for your input. I'm so happy you had a good response to chemo! I am now on Lynparza for a year, like you and it's been a month since I took my first pills. So far no side affects except I am a little more tired and nausea in the first week or so. I am still tired and sleep 8-10 hours straight through each night, but the nausea is no more.
Good luck with Lynparza!
