I can't see an expiration date stamped on the bottom of your foot. (: Use a facility that SPECIALIZES in the treatment of cancer.

www.livestrong.org The American Cancer Society also offers a variety of vital services to cancer patients, including a 24-hour information line staffed by cancer specialists. These highly trained operators can answer questions about treatment options and available local services, such as no-cost transportation to and from treatments, cancer support groups and -- for women receiving chemotherapy -- sessions that offer cosmetology assistance and free wigs. No one has to suffer from cancer alone. A helpful and knowledgeable voice is only a phone call away: 800-ACS-2345.

There is a surgery that removes mo many lymph node that I thought that they lied to be, but it is true. Go to a cancer hospital, take Jesus with you.

I'm really sorry that you got this after going through breast cancer. It doesn't seem fair does it. but no one can tell you what your life expectancy is. You could go into remission for a long time but it's a question I know I would even try to answer. I don't think anyone here can say how long you have. Only God knows that. You were diagnosed in Aug of 08 and just a few months later in Nov. 08, I had a bi-lateral mastectomy. I just pray in years to come no rogue cancer cells went on a trip in my body. I know that if it does happen, I only pray I can deal with it. You have my prayers and support. Maybe you should ask this question with your Dr. He would be the best qualified to answer this. God bless you.

That probably depends on whether your current treatment is able to stop the metastases from moving to other parts. The important thing is to have lots of love in your life. Tell your loved ones you love them, and do what you can to survive and love them.. imho...

I couldn't say what your life expectancy is...I think that would be a good question to ask your doctor though... I've had several people in my family who had cancer. My aunt had cancer in her lymph nodes and after rigorous chemo/radiation treatments, she has now been in remission for 3 years. My dad had/has brain cancer and he was given 6 months to live. I felt like I was walking on egg shells during those months. It has been 6 years since my dad was diagnosed. The point I'm trying to get it is, even if they say youonly have 1 year to live, you could actually live longer. Just keep a positive attitude about it. And if you believe in prayer, ask everyone you know to pray for you. If your constantly thinking about how sick you are, that'll just make you depressed, and that could ultimately affect your immume system. I know it's easier said than done, but really try to stay positive. I think that's what got my aunt and dad through their cancer treatments. This experience can bring a new perspective to life.

This is definitely a question for your doctor/oncologist. Everyone is different when it comes to cancer and there is no way anyone on this site can answer the question. Good luck and very sorry you have secondaries.

It is rather soon for your cancer to have progressed especially if you are on hormone treatment. It is fairly common to see patients with stage 4 breast cancer survive 15-20 years. Without having all of your records available it is impossible to know if you would be an exception for some reason, but it is not likely you are. We are better able to manage this disease all the time and hopefully soon we will know how to extend this time even further. Whenever you are faced with a serious disease or decision you should always get a second opinion. I think you should get one from a doctor at a teaching facility as they see the most unusual cases, are on the cutting edge of treatment and conduct clinical trials and research. This will give them a different perspective at looking at your case. I am very sorry for your bad news. Stay strong.

try www.breastcancer.org It's good for lots of different information about breast cancer and I think there is a discussion group for complimentary therapies.

We are extremely sorry for your sad condition and pray in earnest that you live for very many years. Your results were known after a TNM? But the good news for you is that : My elderly lady friend has had cancer of the breast, detected 20 years ago..having gone to the IV stage, the stage known as "inoperable". The thing that has helped her is the mushroom powder and the powders from: (a) a South African shrub Chaparral, also known as creosote bush and (b) Suther Landia Frutoscens.This plant(b) is one of the best cure for cancer and also used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, a South African plant!! Instead of worrying about your life expectancy get the powders from those table mushrooms and from the shrub the Suther Landlia Frutoscens...urgently!!! Hope this helps......
