Has there been any discussion about a beta blocker? Have you had your hormones and cortisol levels tested by saliva testing?

There have been abstracts and articles posted on this site about beta blockers possibly slowing down metastasis (?). At least two of them; News posted in, I believe, March 2010 and Lani on July 20, 2012. It seems that the beta blockers work on the adrenaline receptors and possibly slow down metastasis.

I have been using Metoprolol since Nov of 2009. I finished my first treatments by Nov 2010. When my sternal metastasis was found in October of last year it was 3 cm but undected anywhere else and I had been unprotected for nearly a year against the Her2 and ER. I have been on Herceptin and Clasteon (an oral bisposphonate) since then and I have just added Letrozole; the whole time, though, I have continued on the beta blocker. I have just had CT/Bone scan, head MRI, mammo and it is still undectable anywhere else. I have a doctor who is certain I had adrenal exhaustion before I was first diagnosed.

I don't know, just a thought.
