    GM. My oncologist has suggested a mastectomy. We were both clear no surgery. Not recommended, but my local tumor and markers grew double its size in 3 months. On my third treatment plan. Can anyone give some insight? Thank you!!!

    Tell us more.

    Are you de novo?

    What are your hormone markers? Where are your mets?

    What treatments have you tried and what is your health otherwise? There is some indication that a surgical approach might be appropriate for select de novo pts so .... but so many things to consider.

    I think you have two threads - it's best if we keep it to one. I think actually the Stage IV forum was probably the better place for this discussion so we can move there if that's ok with you?

    Yes, agree, let's continue in your other thread you started in the Stage IV forum.
