Hello.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2010. Upon doing a CT scan one 4.5cm lung mass was also found.Stage 4. Im in my mid 30'2 with no other health issues.I chose to do chemo first rather than start on Femara.I did some reading and discovered that I would be classified as having oligometastatic disease and should be treated aggressivly NOT pallitivly. After firing 2 oncologists I found one who agreed. I finished chemo, Gezmar/Cisplatin early Novemeber and just had a PET scan. The 6cm tumor in my breast is GONE. The 4.5cm lung tumor is now 1cm and the 2.5cm lymph node in the chest is GONE. I will now be having a upper left lobectomy via the VATS method.My thoracic surgeon told me that the 1cm lung tumo is deep in the lung. He said most metastatic disease would present itself around the outer skirts of the lung.
The mass could be a lung cancer?! I did smoke for 13 yrs, not heavy. But still. Is it true what he said about where lung metastasis show up? Am I right to be treated aggressivly since I have limited metastasis? Please help.
Thank you
