Chemo seems to be the big push these days.  I was recently diagnosed, had a lumpectomy, no lymph nodes involved.  Trying to decide on treatment.  Is there any one triple negative that did not have chemotherapy?

    dzamp ~ You may want to re-post your question in the Triple Negative Forum, where it will probably get more views.  Go to Forum Index above, then scroll down until you see Triple Negative BC.

    In most cases, women without positive nodes are given an Oncotype-DX test to determine their potential benefit/risk from chemo.  I'm not sure if being Triple Negative alone mandates chemo, but the gals who post in that section should be able to give you much first-hand advice.  Whatever you do, be sure you're working with an oncologist who is truly up on the latest research for Triple Negative bc.  

    Good luck ~  Deanna
