hi, yes you have asked a very good question, when i first saw the breast surgeon because they thought it was early breast cancer, after staging scans it was stage 4, "it" had already wormed its way into my spine and my liver so without any preamble the surgeon said 'I cant help you, you need an oncologist and the statistics are 7 years," lovely bedside manner!!!! any way its been 3 and a half years, I have a fantastic oncologist and as he says how long is a piece of string, we have not discussed "how Long" who knows? I am on xeloda at present and will always be on some form of chemo or other, am very interested in the IBRANCE drug trials,I live as best as I can under the circumstances and have scans again on Nov.7th to see "whats happening" on the "inside" I have heard of some ladies 14 years post diagnosis! with all the new treatments who knows what will happen, I have no intention of falling off my perch anytime soon!!!
