Cancer Support

Hi. My mum, 59 years old with an excellent health history hitherto, has been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer that has metastasized to her pelvis. Apparently it’s two spots on the pelvis no bigger than pinheads. What I’m basically looking for is a likely prognosis. Through my dad I’ve been told this is something that is treatable but not curable, that she’ll have to have hormone therapy for it for the rest of her life. He also says it’s something she’s likely to die with rather than from. Is this likely to be the case does anyone know? Is he levelling with me or trying to put on a brave face. Also something I can’t seem to get any clarity on is the likelihood of further metastasis. Is it probably it will spread even with chemo, radio and hormone therapy? Thanks to everyone who takes the time, esp people who have fought or are fighting a cancer battle!
