Recurrent Breast cancer & bone metastasis: What questions to ask?

Posted by onnajd @onnajd, Mar 29, 2023

I will accompany my mom for the first time on her 8th chemo (out of 12 sessions). May you please advise what are the important and critical questions I should ask from his Oncologist? We don't know the chances of survival. The Oncologist has not discussed it to us. I was advised by my friend to check the Cost Benefit Ratio. I am too reluctant to ask this. Moreover too scared to know anything bad about my mom 😭.
Mom has a short temper and eating very less. What is the best food appetizing and healthy?

Hi CW. Sorry about your diagnosis. I was dx in 9/21 with stage 4 mbc Mets to lymph and bones, skeleton. My TX is Verzenio, Anastrosole and Xgeva injections. I live in CT. The HartfordHealthCare cancer center is affiliated with Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital which is a leading cancer center. There are 3 satellite offices in NJ. Suggest that you check out their website. Staying local with friends and family support nearby would be my choice. They have a comprehensive breast cancer program. Best wishes .❤️
