I have a question on behalf of my wife. she had mastectomy 4 weeks ago and her sentinel lymph node had no cancer. her lab test report on the disected tissue produced triple negative and t1n0m0. could she avoid chemo?

I would follow the advice of your oncologist, or get a second opinion from another oncology doctor if you wish. As they know the specifics of her case, or can review the data completely to get best plan of care.
