My sister is 29 and has the BRCA1 gene. She has just been diagnosed with stage 1 grade 3 triple negative breast cancer. My mum has had stage 3 grade 3 triple negative twice (and is still here) so I know how brutal this cancer type is!
Due to previous health issues, her doctors do not believe she is strong enough for chemotherapy. They are recommended a bilateral mastectomy and node removal and then, essentially, seeing what happens after that. They have spoken about targeted therapies but want to do this a step at a time.
I would love to know if anyone has, or knows anyone who has, been treated successfully for this type of cancer without chemotherapy.
