Re: Calling all stage iv sisters
Hi everyone. I just joined this site after a couple of days of browsing. What a great group of women. I am Stage IV with mets to bone and liver. First diagnosis was 2 cm, left breast, no node activity. Did a mastectomy. Was never given an option for further treatment at that time. This was back in November, 2008. In October 2010, due to excruciating pain in my spine, discovered bone mets to T11 and T12 area of spine. Also found liver mets with PET scan. I've been on Anastrazole and Zometa infusions since October, 2010. Last PET scan done 5 months ago showed NED. Will continue with Anastrazole and Zometa. Just for some added encouragement, in my oncologist's office there is a board with patient diagnosis and years since diagnosis. There is a mets board with patients stating 14 years and one stating 19 years. Go sisters......
