Hi @Joinmelb
Sorry to hear that you have more bone mets than originally expected. Your treatment probably won't change as you just have more mets all of which are bone. They may hold off on radiation. I have lots of bone mets in and around my right hip and I have chosen to leave radiation until I am in more pain as radiation (for me at least) is not about controlling the cancer but is about controlling pain.
You can still have lots of success on the drug combination even though you have more bone mets, so don't get too worried.
Sorry also to hear about your husband - I think your cancer is more likely to be caused by him! Although there is no data to support, I am a firm believer in stress causing cancer. Also, many of us were diagnosed with cancer not long after stressful divorces!!
