Metastatic breast cancer: Anyone else?

I’m so sorry you are having to deal with this. I, too, have MBC. Diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer last April, I found that it had metastasized in my skin which is not treatable. Like you, I’m on exemestane and trying to shrink all the tumors enough to be able to get clear margins for the mastectomy. While there is no cure for breast cancer in the skin, I continue to pray that it doesn’t metastasize anywhere else. I will always have cancer. My heart goes out to you on so many levels. We must do everything we can to get to the other side of cancer. Please know you have thousands of supporters.

Welcome, @mjwhearts22. It is my understanding that metastasis to the skin can sometimes be treated, but not cured. Have you had any treatments like electrochemotherapy, special dressings or even antibiotics? These may be options depending on a variety of factors. Do you have pain?
