Just came from my surgical follow up. I have metastatic breast cancer which was confined to the 2 lymph nodes completely removed near liver area. No cancer in liver! The surgeon said I “got lucky” this was found accidently from an ultrasound in the ER for a stomach bug. There is no cancer in any other organs either! They have now turned my care over to my medical oncologists to determine treatment which may be chemo in pill form, etc but overall even though now classified metastatic can still be properly treated. I see Medical oncologist in two weeks. They said because I have been asymptomatic no telling how long it would have been before any symptoms occurred. I know I will be in treatment but feel grateful beyond measure that this was not worse.

They also stated this is still estrogen positive even though less than the original breast cancer which was 80%.
What type of treatment do they usually start you on?
