Hi All - First I just want to say a huge FUCK CANCER. Okay great, now that I got that out of the way. I was diagnosed in Oct 2025, stage 2B. Did chemo, had my DMX a few weeks ago and unfortunately didn't get PCR. No positive nodes, clear margins, but I did have LVI.

When I met with my Oncologist and asked about my RCB score, he basically said it really wouldn't help determine next steps.

I have a consult with radiation on Friday and then Xeloda is for sure in the future. I'm also going to look into clinical trials in the Philly area.

I was just wondering if anyone else's Oncologist didn't provide a RCB score or feel it was necessary?

I just wanted to say thank you to all who have commented on this thread and have given me so much hope. I was diagnosed with TNBC in Oct of 2025, did my full chemo treatment and then had a DMX a few weeks ago. I just got the pathology back that I did not achieve PCR but had negative nodes and clear margins.

I'm looking at radiation and Xeloda. I was obviously crushed as I feel like most places online make it sound like non-PCR is a death sentence. Seeing this thread gave me SO much hope. I know I can get through this hard chapter and be on the other side! Appreciate you all.
