It's always very tough dealing with progression news. I'm so sorry it's such a hard time now.

But I do think there are still treatment options out there as I noticed you've still got a few chemo options, in addition to the anti-hormonals. You could also consider SBRT/RFA if there are a few small lung tumours.

There is this lady on another forum who finally met NED some years after changing several chemo options. I guess we just have to continue to push on to find that one sustainable treatment.

As the others have suggested, a second opinion would not hurt and might open up more options.

Just want to add, I'm ER- and am on my 7th year with liver met after quite a few chemo treatments thus far. Hang in there.
