Hi Denise,
Like you, I was rediagnosed in 2012 with mets in the liver and bones, so I can truly sympathise with your situation. However, we are all so different - being her2+ and ER+, I am being treated with Herceptin, Tamoxifen and Denosumab, and I am living quite well at the moment. My aches and pains are manageable, and I try to avoid too much medication.
I know there are other women on this site who may be able to give you more feedback in regard to pain relief, but remember your doctors should be able to help. Some women find Pall care very helpful with getting the pain under control.
You sound a brave woman and lucky to have such a devoted husband. I send you warm wishes for further successful treatment. Keep trying to greet each day with a smile - I know it's not easy.
Best wishes.... Pam
