Brief Answer:
Yes, chemo is the only option now!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

With metastases, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the only options as surgery is no longer an option or possibility. I will encourage you to follow through with your treatment. Get support from family and feel free to talk to me whenever you feel like you need more help.

I wish you well.
