Thanks for your question. It is unfortunate to have a breast cancer. Worse is the situation to have the metastatic one. Metastatic breast cancer is a rarely seen type of cancer. But it is one of the most difficult to treat also. Mostly it is difficult to get a complete cure. But you can rely on medications to get slight improvements in living conditions. New therapies and innovative systems have made meaningful improvements in this arena. All changes are based on various biological, clinical and social factors. Aims are well tailored and discussed before making an action plan. Therapies include chemotherapy, biologic therapies, supportive care actions, endocrine therapies etc.
