Hi;

I was dx at primary as stage IV with liver mets , had a complete resonse from chemo and continue to be ned going on 3 years now. I too struggled with the surgery issue. In the end I had the masectomy after the chemo and when they looked at the tissue there were micro mets that had not shown up on the ct and pet scans. Bottom line is I am really glad I had the surgery.

take care hope this helps
