Stage IV and Mastectomy

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on having a mastectomy after being diagnosed at Stage IV.

My sister's initial BC diagnosis was earlier this year with bone mets (HER +++ and ER/PR -). She has had a complete response in both the primary and bone mets after a 4 month course of TCH plus Zometa. Currently on Herceptin and Zometa alone.

She is now struggling with the decision to have a mastectomy.

Thankful for any thoughts/comments/experience you may have to share.

Regards,

Amy
