How long can a person live with Stage 4 cancer, from breast cancer that metastasized to the bone?
Hi there, I know exactly how you are feeling. My mother was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer, that also spread to two different spots in her bones. She first went for radiation for her bones (5 treatments)…Once she completed that – she went for 6 chemo treatments. Her first treatment was the worst – but they adjusted her meds and each treatment after that was ok. She also tested positive for the HER2 gene, so she goes for the Herceptin treatment every 3 weeks, as well she gets a bone strengthener the same day through IV. I know that it sounds like a lot – but she was diagnosed in July of 2008, and we have just found out that she is CANCER FREE… Miracles happen – Just be there to support your mom… email me anytime you need to talk!! I’m here for you!
