I wsa diagnosed with TNBC on Monday and having done some reading it seems as though chemotherapy is an important part of the treatment of TNBC. I have been told today that the oncologist has said I am not a suitable candidate for chemotherapy because of other ongoing health issue and the fact that my immune system is already compromised. This has rather knocked me sideways because I know that radiotherapy is much more localised treatment for cancer and thet TNBC is aggressive and does spread. I am worried and a bit scared that my treatment options are going to be very limited.

  • What stage are you and is lymph nodes involved you might be ok with surgery and radiotherapy if tumor small and just in breast 

  • Not been told what stage yet. Pre-op assessment on Monday to see if they can do a general anaesthetic to remove lump & sample lymph nodes. Been told if they cant use a general because of other health issues may remove lump under local but cant sample lymph nodes then.
