Advice..20 year old with stage 4 breast cancer

[micheleu]

Hi all, my friends' niece was just dx with stage 4 breast cancer to the spine. I am going with the family next wed. to the onc. to help them ask questions. I'm not sure what type yet, or anything, but wow, does anyone have any ideas on clinical trials? She had back pain and they found spots from the xray, ultimitly finding a 6 cm tumor in her breast. She is 1/2 caucasion 1/2 african american. Now they think her biological fathers mother died early. I'm thinking of breast cancer now. I will post next week with more info so we can help this young gal. she is my son's age. Scary as hell as isn't it? thanks everyone
