Hi @MargaretTurner, I just started on Kisqali and Fulvestrant. Letrozole stopped working for me. So I guess if one treatment isn't helpful we go to another and the oncologist had knowledge of the range of options and also to clinical trail information about the non pbs drugs.
How to cope is a big question. Counselling can help, staying in the present moment is really helpful for me. I practice mindfulness and do meditation, yoga once a week and I just started some massage and reflexology which is free through my treating hospital. Maybe your oncologist or treating hospital can give you ideas. Another option is a support group. My hospital has an advanced cancer group once a month. Do you have a breast care nurse or have you tried the McGrath Foundation? Join the private mets group here as it's a good group.
Sorry you are in this situation. It's not easy that's for sure.
