Cathy I know what you mean about so many new treatments available since you (and I ) were diagnosed initially. I'm sure Flori's post helped to reassure you and I think it's a great thing that so many new therapies are available now. My friend has lung cancer (not bc mets) and is doing well five years on and while I know it's not the same I think it's wonderful that so many people are still here and doing well that may not have been ten years ago. Good luck and do keep up us posted when you know more.
