Looking for Swiss based women in the same situation 👀

Hi everyone,

I’m newly diagnosed with breast cancer and I’m feeling quite confused after receiving two different treatment recommendations from two experienced oncology teams.

My diagnosis:
BRCA1 positive
Tumor approximately 1.4 cm
Grade 3
Sentinel lymph node appears negative
ER 15% (borderline positive), PR 0%, HER2 negative

The first team recommends starting with chemotherapy and immunotherapy, followed by surgery.
The second team recommends having a mastectomy first, then making the final decision about chemotherapy based on the surgical pathology and any additional genomic testing if appropriate.

I’m struggling because both approaches seem reasonable, but they are completely different.
Has anyone here had a similar situation, especially with BRCA1 or low ER-positive (10–20%) breast cancer? Were you advised to have surgery first or chemotherapy first? What factors influenced your treatment plan?
I know every case is different, but hearing about your experiences would really help me as I try to make this decision.
Thank you so much. ❤️

Has anyone else noticed the guy camping in a tent at Landiwiese, just behind Mythenquai Badi?
He’s been there for about three weeks now. From what I’ve seen, he seems harmless (apart from his choice of wearing a thong swimsuit 😅), and I haven’t noticed him bothering anyone.
I’m mostly just curious whether anyone has spoken with him or knows his situation. Is there anything that should or can be done, or is he simply being left alone as long as he’s not causing any issues?
