Etta, it isn't surprising that you feel overwhelmed - it takes time to adjust to the reality of living with metastatic breast cancer. Treatment decisions should be yours only, but try to inform yourself of your options.
I was diagnosed with bone and liver mets 5 1/2 years ago. I had chemo and hated it with a passion, but after 6 months my liver mets had shrunk to almost immeasurable and I have continued stable since on Tamoxifen and Herceptin. Very few side-effects. We live with uncertainty, but try to retain hope.
Best wishes..... Pam
