My mom has metastatic breast cancer ?

Stage IV Breast CA: I am sorry about your mother's diagnosis. Nowadays, we consider stage IV breast ca like a chronic illness; one we cannot cure, but we can often manage and control very well. If other members of your family have had breast or ovarian ca, it may be wise for your mother to see a genetic counselor--a simple blood test can determine if you or your children have inherited this predisposition.

Stage IV: I hope your mom is okay. Metastatic breast cancer is condition when the cancer has spread beyond the breast. It commonly spreads to the liver, lung, bones, brain. It is unfortunately an incurable disease-although it is treatable. Therapy will depend on the biology of the cancer and your mother's overall health condition and her preference. We do have chemo, targetted therapy, hormonal therapy
