Metastatic Breast Cancer found just by accident

@Not_good_63_57, its pretty much standard procedure with denovo, i.e. cancer when first found has already metastasised to bones or organs, the aim is to prolong our lives as long as possible as it unfortunately incurable, I do agree that she should have explained it better for you though,. McGrath nurses àre available all over Australia although you do need to find one who specialises in Stage 4 cancer. Best of luck with your treatment,  I also started out on pills only with a monthly denosumab injection for my bones as I was already osteoporotic.  I've been on this road for 3 yrs now and am doing quite well at the moment and I still haven't had to have iv chemo. Just take everything one day at a time for now and try not to dwell on what ifs as they may never happen. xxxx
