Yes! As long as you are not metastatic, stage IV.
It is a huge jerk, and the most aggressive. But it does respond well to chemotherapy.
I was diagnosed with TNBC 2018, stage 1, grade 3, ki-67 85%. I had chemo, surgery and radiation. 4/15 of this year was my 5 years out if treatment.
Wishing you well!
