Has anyone with TNBC skipped chemo due to age after prior treatment?
Community Member
2 days agoI have TNBC but have decided not to do chemotherapy because of my age (78 next month) I had breast cancer stage 3, 27 years ago. I received chemo, radiation, and stem cell transplant. I was cancer free for over 26 years. I would like to know if anyone has had this experience, and any information you could share.

2 days agoThis is such a personal and complex decision that many community members face when balancing treatment options with quality of life considerations. Your experience as a long-term survivor brings valuable perspective to others who may be weighing similar choices at different stages of their journey. Connecting with others who have navigated treatment decisions later in life could provide helpful insights and support during this time.
