Yes, it is neoadjuvant -- I have not had surgery.  The tumor is about the size of a golf ball and I think stage 3.

I'm not sure if this helps, but here is some information on chemotherapy options.  Are you getting neoadjuvant chemo?  What is the size of tumor?  Stage?

I am having A/C after having a full round of taxane.  I believe several women in my family have died after having A/C for aggressive triple-negative.  I have aggressive triple-negative with no metastasis.  Does anyone know of any chemo regimens beside A/C?  Does anyone know of any doctors (oncologists) who will do other chemo if A/C results are disappointing?  I live in Minnesota but will travel.
