I looked up treatment for men: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/breast-cancer-in-men/treating/by-stage.html
Systemic (drug) therapy is the main treatment for stage IV breast cancer in men. Depending on many factors, this may be hormone therapy , chemo , targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or some combination of these treatments.
Surprisingly, it looks like treatment for men often resembles the treatment for women. I do wonder what surgery is possible though. And was surprised to read that hormone responsiveness (estrogen and progesterone) is also considered for men.

Do you have ER/PR scores or HER2 results yet?
