Removed by Mohs at oxford, but a lymph node appeared in leftside of neck one year later. Removed, radiotherapy deferred. Now another lump 6 months on. Removed 6 weeks ago. What wouldyour recommendation be now. Radiotherapy, or surgery.

HI,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,You seems to suffer from Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the breast/ surgical excision of the recurring tumors was just to reduce the tumor mass in this advanced Stage IV breast tumor case.
Treatment Recommended in your case-at this stage-
So thus a combination of -
-Surgery for the recurring tumor to reduce the tumor mass/
-accompanied with anti-estrogenic hormonal treatment with Tamoxifen to kill the cancer in the left out breast tissue
-and / chemotherapy to kill the nodular tissue remnants after the node resection by surgery would be recommended to give best results in your case.
Hope this reply would help you to resolve the anxiety with it and would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors soon.
Welcome for any further query in this regard,to be attended in next session.
Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.
Good Day!!
