Have Bone And Liver Cancer. In Pain. Life Expectancy?
Hello my sister has recently been diagnosed with aggressive bone and liver cancer . Her liver is completely covered and wide spread through her bones they suspect it has travelled to other areas. The primary is the breast . She does not know the full extent of her illness . Are you able to tell me a honest life expectancy. She is in quite some pain. Thank you.

Hi,
it will not be fare to comment on life expectancy without assessing the patient clinically. many patients with extensive metastasis from breast cancer lived for years. chemo, radio and hormonal treatment are available. first to look for supportive care.consult oncologist for detailed discussion.
