The decision about surgery will not be easy because there are pros and cons to both.
If you live near a research center it may be as reasonable to talk to them and use adjutant treatment instead of the surgery. There are medication options available that have had good results but are only available as research options.

Huge day today. Two appointments, the first with the surgeon. She is very pleased with the progress of the treatment. Her initial assessment was a 7cm tumor which as of today is essentially gone. Chemo continues for 11 more weeks, then a short break and surgery which will only be a lumpectomy.
The second dealt with her liver which has been hanging over her since this all started. She does have a tumor in her liver but it is benign and most likely a common result of long term birth control use. No further actions need to be taken at this point, monitoring in the future is all that is recommended.
This second round of chemo is a lot harder on her than the first. She's sick a lot of the time, her legs are swelling and she's tired. Only three days into it, she doesn't get another treatment for 2 weeks so still not knowing the full progress through the three week span.
Today made her feel a lot better though.

Great news about the reduction in size I would think.
And the info about her liver tells us it is probably an adenoma as their trademark is to be associated with birth control use.

Good movies, popcorn, and siting cross-legged on the sofa? FaceTime with best friends?
