Can you survive Triple Negative type Breast Cancer without chemo?

I believe that chemotherapy is usually recommended for triple neg breast cancer, even when it is at an early stage; first because triple negative breast cancer responds well to chemotherapy and secondly because there are no other post-surgery treatments for it in the way that there are hormone treatments and Herceptin for cancers that are not triple neg.

There are a few doctors and other medical professionals who answer questions on here who will be able to answer your question better than I have; hopefully some of them will be along soon.

I suggest you visit the forums on one of the breast cancer sites, if you haven’t already. You will be able to speak to other women who are or have been in your situation. These sites both have a forum for discussion of triple neg bc:
