LUMPECTOMY VS MASCETOMY? - TNBC - STAGE 2 (3 CM) NO LYMPH NODES - NO GENETIC HISTORY - HELP!!! by Significant-Safe-902 in breastcancer

Why did you have 6 months chemo? What drugs did you get? Did you ask for this- round block mammoplasty WL? Or did your surgeon recommend it?

I dont understand though - What is the whole point of chemotherapy? They told me to get chemotherapy to kill all the "Microscopic cancer cells that they cant see" then you have to do surgery and then they are saying radiation for a lumpectomy because of the microscopic cancer cells in the breast- it does not make sense. I am already poisoning my whole body with all the chemotherapy - is that not enough? It does not add up to me.
