Your prognosis, the likely course your disease will take, can vary depending on cancer type and how the cancer responds to treatment, among other factors. You, your family and carers are encouraged to discuss this with your treatment team, so you can be reassured that although the treatment will not cure the cancer, it may help you live as long as possible and improve your quality of life. Whether and when you do this is completely up to you. How is it treated? Several treatment options are available for metastatic breast cancer. Many factors about the nature of the cancer itself and your own health and circumstances influence the treatment that will be offered to you. You do not need to be concerned if you are offered different treatment options than someone else you have met with metastatic breast cancer.
