Hi, I was diagnosed with Grade 1 TNBC and had one Lymph node that tested positive.
I am more than half way through chemotherapy and I am also having immunotherapy. I have been told that I can have a lumpectomy and a number of lymph nodes removed or opt for a mastectomy.
Since my diagnosis my Mum checked more frequently and she unfortunately found a lump and has now also been diagnosed with TNBC and she is undergoing treatment.
I had the genetic testing which came back negative.
I would like to know if any other people on this group have been diagnosed with TNBC and have a close relative (mother/daughter) who has also been diagnosed with TNBC too and the genetic test was negative?
My worry is that we could have a gene not yet detected and therefore I would be making the wrong decision not to have a mastectomy?
If anyone has been in a similar position please can you let me know what you decided to have (mastectomy or lumpectomy) and why you made that choice? Thanks
