My situation isn’t really like yours, but I am a breast cancer survivor and I did not want to leave your post unanswered. This is just heartbreaking.
I understand the no more treatment with stage 0 DCIS. My question is about screening, have you been screened regularly? Have the doctors discussed treatments yet?

I had a bilateral mastectomy in 2015 with referral to breast cancer oncologist. Who said no further TX. I did have regular screenings primarily with breast cancer surgeon and gyn. I participate in a aging, memory mood NIH study which involves periodic functional MRIs. Which in May 2021 showed lytic lesions of skull bones. Because I have a history of medullary thyroid cancer in the 90's. Underwent multiple diagnostic tests to determine type of cancer, biopsy of lytic lesion on L5 confirmed mbc. New wonderful breast specialty oncologist started me on Verzenio and Anastrosole 10/1. So far so good, with PET scan scheduled for April to check therapeutic effect.
