My aunt has been diagnosed with stage 4 aggressive breast cancer just recently. Her legs even broke because it metastisized to her bone. It’s in her organs too, like her liver. The doctors say she only has 6 months to live at the most. Is it possible that she could live longer? Is there anything I can do? I don’t want her to die and I’m really scared for her. :[
My sister was diagnosed last week with stage 4 breast cancer. She learned about the cancer because her stomach filled with fluid and a biopsy of the fluid revealed cancer cells in the fluid. A mamogram and breast biopsy also revealed breast cancer. We are just sick about this. She starts chemotherapy today. My question is, can the cancer cells in the fluid in the stomach cause the cancer to spread to other organs. Does this mean that she definately has it in her lymph nodes? Is the fluid most likely caused by the tumor draining into her stomach. I am just confused because from what I have read stage 4 means the cancer has spread to other organs. Finally, is there hope for this type of cancer. I can use all the information I can find. That you for your help and time
