And my Onc said "we are going for the cure", even though I have been staged at IV and the original pet scan showed bone mets. Later bone scan says NED, so that leaves me confused as to whether they were really there or not.

But, I think it depends on how your Onc views treatment and how your mental outlook can affect your overall health.
My Onc said 10 yrs ago, I wouldn't have had much of a chance, but now we have Herceptin and later Tykerb.
