    Hello everyone. I really do not know what I am doing here, I guess I just need to talk about things, My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago. By the time she had went to the doctors the tumor was already removed with apart of her breast and she was given armidex tab.For the past few years we had thought that she had beat it. Well about a 2 weeks ago she had told her doctor several times that her right eye had no clear vision. The doctors told her everything was fine, her eye will be fine with new glasses but no improvement so we did many tests to clarify. A doctor had ran a MRI and found out the cancer had spread to her bones (one of it in the skull press on the optic nerve and prevent full vision to right eye)its also spread to ribs, femur , few vertebra, pelvic. Our dr prescriped zomita once per month for 6 months and aromasine instead of armidex and also radiation

    Marlene, I am sorry about your mother's diagnosis. I know that it can be scary and confusing to hear that news. There are many of us with bone mets on these discussion boards. Please join us on the Bone Mets Thread. I have included the link below. There are many supportive, knowledgeable people there who can offer you support and answer your questions. It sounds like your mom's oncologist has a good treatment plan in place. Many people with bone mets live normal lives for many, many years. The disease can be controlled. I hope to "see" you on the Bone Mets thread.

    Hugs and prayers from, Lynne
