Oh Pam,
Thank you. I'm still working on these rules. Like Barbi, I wish I'd had them to post on my refrigerator when I was diagnosed.
God Bless,
Lillie

Hi, there are many methods to resolve the breast cancers. If you want to see and read full details of breast cancer the please visit here. There are many medicines now a days and treatments to get rid of breast cancer but the final solution when all the medications are failed to give out expected results then the surgeons turn towards plastic surgeries. Many ladies and girls having breast cancer have some type of Plastische Chirurgie (a German term used for plastic surgery as I am a German also) that is sometimes necessary to resolve a breast tumor. Choices for this include breast-conserving surgery and mastectomy. Breast reconstruction can be done at the same time as surgery or later on. Surgery is also used to check the lymph nodes under the arm for cancer spread. Options for this include a sentinel lymph node biopsy and an axillary (armpit) lymph node dissection.

Dear Glen,
welcome to our community and I agree, breastcancer.org is an important resource.
TNBC is a difficult type of breast cancer and often does not respond to chemotherapy and it can be aggressive.
You wrote "but
the final solution when all the medications are failed to give out expected
results then the surgeons turn towards plastic surgeries.”
At times, that statement is not correct, in my opinion. If the TNBC is systemically in a woman’s body because it is invasive, and is not responding to chemotherapy, operating on the breast and removing the tumor, or even a mastectomy/ies will not necessarily solve the problem because the cancer, at times, is already circulating in the body and needs to be killed with chemotherapy. If one chemo doesn’t work the oncologists will often try to find another that will.
And yes, I am sure, that surgery at times can be effective but not always...
I don’t mean to correct something you said, especially as you have just start4ed to post, but feel it is important that you and the women here are not under a false impression.
I hope you will spend much time on our site and you are most welcome to do so.

Hi Glens,

Thanks,
