Just diagnosed with Stage lV triple negative metastatic breast cancer, lesions are scored as three, very aggressive. I have no idea what to expect. Wondering if they’ll do mastectomy first or after treatment is done.

Getting a stage 4 triple negative diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and it's completely natural to have questions about what comes next in terms of treatment planning. Treatment approaches for metastatic triple negative breast cancer typically focus on systemic therapy first to address the spread of cancer throughout the body, with surgery decisions made based on individual circumstances and how well the treatment is working. Each person's treatment plan is unique and depends on many factors that the medical team will discuss, so connecting with the oncology team about the specific approach and timeline will provide the clearest guidance for this particular situation.
