Hi Pandorax  I am so sorry to read about your diagnosis.  Like Steph says I am in the same boat as you.  I have mets in my pelvis, hips, spine, ribs and skull.  I have been on treatment for over a year now.  The treatment for me has definitely not been too bad and it has not made the pain worse, in fact it has made me feel better.  I also had radiotherapy for one of the big tumours on my spine for the pain which really helped.  I think there are definitely benefits to the treatment, no it can't cure it but it does slow it down and make it stable and you can live for many years with this condition.  I really have a good quality of life, I walk my dogs, go out with friends and enjoy life.  My husband and I went on holiday to Portugal last year and we went to Iceland this year.   I make plans and look forward to them.  In the beginning it is harder to believe that you can live a relatively normal life with this cancer, but you can.  I had some counselling in the beginning that Macmillan organized maybe the help line on here can point you in the right direction also Maggies centre can be helpful.  I am doing various courses with a cancer charity called Penny Brohn and they are so helpful.  They are all online zoom courses and do weekly clinical hypnotherapy with them which really helps me relax and destress.  I know I am rambling on but I wanted you to know that you are not alone, I am here.  Take care and please believe me, it is worth it.
