If you are going to get mets, bone is the best place to have them as there are relatively effective treatments. I was first diagnosed with breast cancer 18 months ago and had numerous tumours in my hip. Although I have tried a number of treatments which worked for a while, they found out the mutation that caused my cancer by doing DNA sequencing of the tumours and suggested Afinitor would work well (as it targets the mutation). I have also been having Denosumab monthly. I am pleased to say that after 3 months on the Afinitor, I am officially in remission and the tumours in my bone have disappeared completely. The Afinitor is a bit of a nasty drug and I am battling with pneumonitis at the moment. There are lots of drugs that they can try, so hang in there and don't give up! Your dogs need you! xx
