Don't Want The Lumpectomy And Rads

I Am Stage 4, Lymph And Liver Mets And Will Be Taking My Last Chemo In Two Weeks. The Doc Wants To Do A Lumpectomy And Remove Two Remaining Tumors From Breast And Do Rads On Breast And Lymph. My Thoughts Are This...... If The Herceptin That I Am And Will Be Taking For An Indefinate Period Will Hold Back And Sit On The Mets And Blood And Lymph. Then It Will Also Hold Back And Sit On The Remaining Tumor In My Breast. It Either Works Or Not. Why Go Through The Operation And Radiation When We Are Counting On The Herceptin To Do It's Job.it Seems As Though If It Were The Only Tumors I Had, I Would Understand Removing Them. But The Liver Is Inoperable And We Certainly Know We Can't Fix The Cancer In My Blood. So It Does'nt Make Since To Do It. Plus The Axillary Nodes Would Be Removed And Have To Worry About Lymphedema. Who Needs More Worries. Am I Crazy?
