My 69 yo mother has stage 1 grade 3 TNBC.  Her tumor was 1 cm and she has had a lumpectomy with clear margins and no node involvement.  She is considering not doing chemo or radiation.  We have consulted with 3 oncologists (4 really, but he was just an opinion over the phone).  2 said to do the chemo (one with AC and one with TC).  One MO said he was 50/50 in her case and thought she should do what she would feel most comfortable with and one said if it was his mother he wouldn't have her do it.  I have read and scoured these boards for women who have not had chemo or rads following a dx of TNBC.  There are a few of you and as far as I can tell you haven't had a local or distal recurrence.  I'm wondering about the women who didn't have the chemo or radiation and have had a recurrence.  If you're out there, can you please respond and let me know how your cancer journey looks now and how you have progressed.  Thank you!!  Also, if you chose or weren't offered chemo and/or radiation and haven't had a recurrence I'd love to hear your story too.
