Got the results of my last CAT scan today [View all]

They are not good. Apparently there is a "thickening" in my breast that wasn't there before, and I have four more spots on my liver (my original diagnosis was 4th stage breast cancer that metastasized to my liver, lung and some bones). I have been on Anastrozole since the end of last March. Will talk to my doctor next week about where I go from here.
To say I'm not scared would be a lie, but I'm trying to be neutral till I talk to the doc next week. Hoping there is some medication I can take (I won't do another round of chemo), but if not, I'll see about doing hospice to make myself as comfortable as possible till the end.
