Hello everyone. I'm writing for my sister. She is 24 years old. She was diagnosed on September10th with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in her left breast, stage llA , Grade 3 , Triple negative , Nottingham histologic score 9/9 also it has Medullary carcinoma features (slow growing, and has white blood cells).

On 3/11/ 2015, She had bilateral skin and nipple sparing mastectomy and reconstruction surgery at the same time. The surgeon removed 8 lymph nodes and all are unaffected 0/8.Also, we have strong family history, my mom and aunt. Fortunately both are survivor after 2 years (mom) and 30 years (my aunt). I would just like to ask patients who had my sister's situation about did you go through chemotherapy, how many rounds, and what are , have you heard that chemo is not necessary for Medullary carcinoma?. One of experts told her that she do not need to undergo chemo because it has not spread to lymph nodes and entire breast tissue is removed ,while the oncologist recommended chemo and should be 6 rounds because she is very young. She can not decide about forego chemo or no. She is still studying and she is afraid that will affect on. Please we need your advise.
