Re: Progression. :(
This is a very difficult decision to make as many doctors are still divided on the benefit of local treatment for Stage IV. There's been research that tumour load reduction helps in overall survival. Some doctors also believe that the removal of the primary tumour will eliminate the source of BC stem cells.
For me, I'd the mastectomy as I just wanted them out. It gave me a huge psychological relief. I'm just over 5 years out with liver met.
Hope you'll find your answer soon.
