Brief Answer:
Hello dear. Chemo drugs are ok
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. I understand your concern. Only point of concern is the no. of cycles. The usual protocol is to give 3 cycle of FEC and 3 cycles of docetaxel drug. Surgery can be done in between depending upon the comfort of surgeon. At last radiation will be given. Please discuss this with your chemo doctor.
TNBC is an aggressive type of tumor and there is high chances of relapse in first 3 years after completion of treatment. After that, the chances are practically nil.
Thanks and regards

Brief Answer:
Hello. Survival is difficult to predict
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. Tnbc behaves very absurdly and if there is no relapse in first 3 years then she will live live normal life, as of a normal person. But if relapsed, then life will be very short. Surgery can be done even at the end of chemo. No worries.
Thanks and regards
