I don’t have the same cancer as you (mine is Her2 positive which kinda resembles the TNBC in the sense that it doesn’t have hormone receptors and is aggressive ), but I also had a pathological complete response at surgery (DMX) and so radiation was not necessary. But I had no lymph nodes affected. I believe when you do have the nodes, they still recommend radiation. But I agree with the ladies above that maybe you could ask for a shorter course. It does have its own cancer risk. But indeed, if you’re young, you’re in better shape to tolerate all the side effects that come with the treatment. See if you can find any studies on the web about this. Taking the lead in your treatment is the best you can do for yourself. And we’re here for you too. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Elizabeth. Were lymph nodes affected? I’m receiving keytruda still.

Hi Cassandra T I’m also TNBC stage 2 I was diagnosed in 2020 I didn’t had to do radiation instead I did 9 infusions of Keytruda.

Thank you ladies. I do have a couple of weeks before starting. Im glad I came across this platform and am hearing from others.
