Mets to Omentum and bones

Hi everyone, today I was given my Stage IV diagnosis after a biopsy revealed mets to the Omentum and bones. I fluctuate between crying , being angry, being sad and more crying .  I hope to be in a better head space in a few days time when I've stopped wallowing in self pity.

I was initially diagnosed with ILC in 2009 and had a mastectomy of the left breast, and a year later  a prophylactic mastectomy of the right and a double reconstruction. I had six rounds of chemo and 25 rads. I have been on Tamoxifen since then. 
The OC said today the Tamoxifen has stopped working. Apparently surgery is not an option and chemo should be kept in reserve. So I'm starting on three new hormone therapies ( two are tablets and one is a monthly injection). 
I would really like to hear from anyone who has also had ILC with mets to the Omentum. I'm interested in what treatment you had/ are having? Thanks
