Yes, it's been confirmed that it's spreading. Luckily, its still only in the bones and not a 3rd site so I am starting a new treatment tomorrow. I understand it's a bit harsher than the Ibrance I've been taking. I was really hoping to stay on Ibrance longer but I guess it's just not in the cards. I'll my research makes me just hope that I can still maintain what I do in my life for maybe another year. Could be wishful thinking, but I guess we have to do that, right? Good to hear that you've been metastatic for 5 years and still doing well. Or maybe you didn't say that. Are you still doing well?

@robynwithay, I hope your new treatment goes well, with minimal side effects and maximum effectiveness. I'm still doing well, and while it's taken some time, I've come to accept that there are just some things that we can't control or predict. There are new treatments or combinations of treatments coming along all the time. Any statistics that you see are lagging behind today's science. I know it's not going to be easy. Know that someone is the exception in all of the studies and outperforms expectations. You could be that exception. Is your family/support system aware of your diagnosis? Or is there someone that can help as needed? Sending big hugs.
