I was given the diagnosis of TNBC in 2009 stage IIB grade 3. In response to the grade. The grade is measured from 1-3 with 3 being the highest grade. The grade show how different the actual cancer cells look from normal healthy breast cells. So I was grade 3 which means my cancer cells highly differentiated from a normal cell. The stage IIB is measured by the size of the tumor and if it has spread to the lymph nodes or other organs. Mine was a large tumor 5.25cm however I did not have lymph node involvement so I was a IIb instead of a stage III.
