Dear Melcanada,
A close friend in Sweden is in a similar situation. Stage 4, metastasized to bones and another organ. On hormones, questioning next steps. I have suggested that he look at other Stage 4 threads such as this one:

melcanada: thanks for your thoughts. What a rough freaking journey for you I hope the oncologist can help. They seem to be coming out with new twists on radiation and chemotherapy on a regular basis.
