Celeste while none of us likes "bad" news I always feel much better when I have a plan of attack. I wish you all the best for trouble free treatment and fantastic results.
Also just a little reassurance...I have had mets in my mediastinal and hilar nodes and lungs for nearly 6 years now. They just rumble along. My treatment has mainly been the AIs Arimidex, femara etc but have also had chemo. In fact I have just started another combo this week. The mets really haven't caused me too many probs other than breathlessness which is complicated because I'm asthmatic. The seem to grow a bit, get treated, stay stable and then grow a bit. It messes with my head, but hasn't been too much of a problem physiccally.
Like you I am also single these days. My kids were 9 and 11 when I was first diagnosed with BC; 16 and 18 with ABC and are now 22 and 24 (with the 24 year old living in London). For many of us this is a chronic disease which is a really crappy one, but a disease we live with!!!!
I'll be thinking of you
