Stage 4 breast cancer doesnโt automatically mean na hindi na applicable ang surgery. ๐งโโ๏ธ
Kapag Stage 4, ibig sabihin kumalat na ang cancer sa ibang part ng katawan. Kaya usually, ang main focus ng treatment ay yung pag-control ng cancer throughout the body, gamit ang treatments like chemotherapy and targeted therapy.
Pero hindi ibig sabihin na bawal na or impossible na ang surgery. May mga Stage 4 patients na inooperahan pa rin, depende sa situation, response sa treatment, symptoms, at overall health ng patient.
For me, my oncologist advised that surgery is not needed at this time. And I trust that my treatment plan is based on what is best for me. ๐ค
