I am a breast cancer survivor myself, and I chose to have both breasts removed. At stage 3, mastectomy is the best option, along with chemotherapy. The port is inserted so that she can receive her chemo through it rather than getting stuck with needles each time she gets her chemo.

By detachment of the body part I assume you mean removing the breast. Radiation is an option, but it has such serious side effects and is not necessarily a guarantee. She can have the breast removed and have reconstructive surgery to have implants placed so it still looks like she has breasts.

most people would get a mastectomy or lumpectomy, I'm not sure about being in the 3rd stage. you can get a second opinion by another doctor.
