Does anyone have any info on Metastatic breast cancer that has spread to the bone marrow? - info on bone cancer more condition_symptoms
All information about the treatment, prognosis, etc. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 months ago, has spread to bone. She had to stop to chemotherapy, as it has a low platelet count. A bone marrow biopsy showed that the cancer has spread to the bone marrow. She said today that have that, you can more chemotherapy because of their platelet count and takes a pill, the hormone treatment. It was said that when the hormone therapy does not work, there is no other choice. Search on Google, but I'm having trouble finding specific information, and my head is a little messy trying to absorb the message. I was hoping it was somebody to know who has or knows someone who might, perhaps, some of the information.
Best regards

This answer assumes that your mother is connected to a low platelet count to the replacement of the bone marrow of breast cancer and not just because recent chemotherapy treatments. It is difficult to answer accurately complete with limited knowledge about the medical situation.
That's what you can do in this situation, if the non-hormonal treatment to slow the progression to - - and I was a medical specialist (medical oncologist) to my retirement.
Try to chemotherapy is not particularly hard on
Bone marrow. It is a gift is old, but I got lucky with a drug called 5-FU and leucovorin, in some cases of metastatic breast cancer that has not had the order to respond more toxic regime of high power. (Partial response rate of around 15-20%, so it is not a panacea for all patients by all means.) If you can see some of the cancers of the bone marrow removed, the platelet count had come, in fact, with effective debulking.
There are many (dozens) with different chemotherapy regimens have been used in metastatic breast cancer OVhe the last 33 years, when I started, because patients with advanced cancer. Not all of these serious impact on the production of red blood cells and platelets.
It takes a little imagination, sometimes a system to help it, and are less likely to cause more damage can be achieved.
BUT - the key word here is not to heal ".
Quality It is a realistic goal.
Note that the bone metastases and bone "Mark" metastases are very different. Many women have spread breast bone, but a significant minority of the replacement of the bone marrow itself. The situation is complicated and difficult to understand for non-medical people.
When Teresa (because it is both chemo-and radiotherapy nurse, white), you can not complete the radiation bone marrow. It is very toxic to the production of blood cells, including platelets. The radiation for the "points" of the bone is fine, but reached the bone marrow is diffusely - - in the bones, blood and containing DNA in the bones. \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ U0026lt;br>
"Somehow I do not like Herbert gave the word therapy. Your aunt should be localized or focal bone lesions, which can be treated with localized field irradiation. Herbert aunt have breast cancer is" stretched "as the disease has spread mother. Seek physicians, sickness grow, where it has spread to prevent it. These misunderstandings are very common.
The word is the control and the target gain precious time. If you think it is all medicines, doctors and nurses, and can never aspire - - buy valuable time - no one is immortal.
You can not "cure" diabetes and hypertension. We control the treatment. Do not expect a cure for breast cancer metastases. It is an illusion to a denial of our rights under generally accepted our mortality and limitations of the so-called "modern" medicine.
This is the biggest obstacle to acceptance of all - that there are diseases, such as these can not completely "cured". It is a very difficulty breathinglt capacity.
People usually go, but the stages of denial, bargaining and
Anger before reaching acceptance. Some people never anger passed. This is where religious beliefs can be very, very comforting.
It seems that you can be in the UK because it uses the term "mother" used to her mother. I hope that the system allows healthcare oncologists to different treatment options that can not be "trying to Default. Each person is unique and different.
Sometimes we are "lucky" to find a treatment that will work for month. It is advisable not to wait too many years in this situation, but only God knows. No doctor can predict the future strength with 100% certainty. We wish you and your mother the best in this difficult and emotional time.

It is difficult to make sense of things on the network. Www.breastcancer.org point to a website, very informative and has a number of members of bone-crusher. There are several Chemos, and some members of the hormone therapy.
Good luck to you and your mother
Chooch,
I agree with everything, "said Therese. My aunt has the same problem. She has breast cancer that has spread to the bone. She goes to radiotherapy. Now she is taking medication that is keeping the cancer to spread. It will cure that as well as his mother a. I will leave you and your mother in my prayers! :-)

I do not know who has experienced it. My father is a survivor of prostate cancer and I just wanted to say that we can resist. He has a difficult time, and I wish your mother. I have a link that can answer some questions for you. Take care.
I'm sorry, your mother is ill with cancer. I am sure that one of the doctors here give you a better answer than I can, but it is my humble opinion is. It's never good when the cancer has spread to bone, but each person is unique and may respond to treatment and have more time than expected.
No single chemotherapeutic agent for breast cancer. If the doctor told his mother that he could not receive medication, which he received, because they are not tolerated. There may be other options. If the doctor is not willing to discuss what was then a second opinion may be necessary.
Radiation can be used to treat bone diseases and medications such as Zometa.
Perhaps your mother, and you can have a time to meet with the oncologist after the shock of the news talking timetable has been corrected.
Good luck.
