I was recently diagnosed w/ tnbc. The first drs suggested I start chemo first and then surgery after (this was NorthShore Hospital) -second opinion (Northwestern Hospital) suggests I do surgery first and then chemo. Clinical approx size of the mass is 9mm to 1cm, with also a non-avasive DCIS in the same breast.  Im leading toward double mast. w/ reconstructive surgery first but the surgeon is going on vacation & surgery cannot be scheduled until another month! I'm freaking out because in my mind I feel like it could be speading with each day that passes.  Anyone here go through Northwestern or even thinking of getting a third opinion at U of C...
