My colleague just told me that the Stage II breast cancer she had 4 years ago has metastacized into her spine. She also told me that her treatment is Femara because she's ER/PR+ and a weekly IV of some drug to strengthen her bones, which is not chemo.
She doesn't know if she's HER-2 positive or not and I recommended she find out ASAP and also seek a second opinion.
I would like to hear from folks w/ bone mets in terms of their treatment. It strikes me as odd that she wouldn't be getting chemo but then I'm hardly an expert--especially when it comes to mets.
I also recommended this board to her so hopefully, she'll show up with her own questions. In the meantime, I told her I'd do some investigation for her.
Thanks!
