I have triple negative breast cancer. After 8 cycle of chemo my pet ct and bone scan report shows no cancerous cell. My Dr. insisted on me having surgery. And I want to continue with metronomic chemotherapy with capecitabine and not have this surgery. Which will be good for me?

If it was a non metastatic disease then consider surgery. Since surgery will be the only chance of complete cure.

You will need surgery to remove the primary tumor, otherwise the metastasis will recur.

Surgery is mainstay of treatment in operable breast cancers. Cure is possible with surgery. Without it disease may subside but after sometime it comes back again, so it's standard treatment to advise surgery, rest you can discuss with your doctor.

The treatment you have had is called neo adjuvant chemotherapy. It can regress the disease but can not cure it alone. There is a high chance of recurrence of disease if you do not undergo surgery. Please share your pet report before starting chemotherapy.
