    Brooklyn you hang tough. Only one met - they will get that thing and you just have to keep on track with your treatment. HER has great success I hear and now you can shut down the estrogen since you are ER positive and starve those cells to death. If you are done having kids, are you/your doctors considering an ooph or chemically turning off the ovaries? After chemo they will start you on anti-hormone, this should do well for you too. Have heard many women going years and years now and with all that is coming down the pike on studies and new drugs, you will be around a long time (with me!)

    Wow. You must be completely overwhelmed right now. I was diagnosed early in 2017 with the same. I dont have liver mets but i do have bone mets (significant) so I am stage 4 as well. Tripple positive and I am Male! I am starting to get a little scared recently. The taxotere was working extremely well for a few months but now has diminishing results.

    Can you give an update on your condition? I hope you are fighting this with all you have! I also hope you are doing well.

    Hello Dezy! You are very close to me geographically speaking. How are you doing? Do you attend any support groups? I am looking for one closer to Orlando.
