My mother in law has metestatic breast cancer, stage 4. Currently no treatments, had a fx to rt. hip last month d/t bone cancer. Oncologist wants to give Arimidex. He has told the family this is a "miracle" drug. Will both stop and reverse the cancer. I find this hard to believe.
Bone CA goes as follows: skull, cervical to sacral spine, both rib cage, pelvis, and rt. femur. Also looks like some lymph involvement.
Family did not know she had a tumor of the rt. breast, probably had the tumor for 7-10 years. Area is approx. 6 cm., ulcerated, according to her daughter, I have not seen the area. Also there is a possibility the sternum is involved.
I have tried to find information but am hitting a brick wall. Just need some thoughts and ideas. Is this a miracle drug? What do you think about tx. options? Do we try tx. or do we just make her comfortable?
