Secondary Breast Cancer - Spread into bones

Hi Everyone 

I have a few questions about this stage of breast cancer. 

My Auntie has been diagnosed in November 2023 that she has breast cancer but in January 2024 doctors advised her that they are stopping her chemo as it has spread to the bones. 

I am super worried of what is going to happen next.

Would love to hear any feedback and pointers

  • Hi Anna,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your Auntie. It's very difficult to advise on this as typically only the doctor involved in the person's care can do this. I'm not sure if there are further appointments coming up to discuss this, but hopefully you can get some further information soon.

    You are welcome to give our nurses a call if you'd like to talk things through - they will only be able to give general information however. If you'd like to do this, you can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Did they do a full body MRI before starting Chemotherapy? I’m interested because they said mine had not spread but I guess it still can if my chemo does not work.
