I have just discovered that what was supposed to be a benign cyst is in fact a MBC with ER 8 and PR6 and -HER. I am dismayed that the survival rates seem to be so poor for skin mets. Are there any hopeful statistics out there that can cheer me up? I am awaiting the scan and results to see if its gone anywhere else. I am 74 and am in vgh. I have been 7 years cancer free from lumpectomy.
