New to Group today--metastatic breast cancer

1st I had DCIS (non-infiltrating). After a double mastectomy, no radiation or chemo, years later cancer was found in my chest wall. I changed oncologists. This time I had chemo (AC & Taxol), then 35 rounds of radiation. I went on tamoxifen, faslodex, etc. Everything seemed to be going fine until 2007 when I had a recurrence in my R supraclavicular. I was placed on a study drug along w/Faslodex. So far so good I thought, The tumor shrunk & my scans looked good. But the tumor started to grow again & I started on another study drug this time a "PARC" inhibitor. What a great thing, the drug worked & allowed the tumor to shrink down where they could start radiation--so 22 rounds later...the radiation did work. Yeah, but last week I found out merely through an x-ray because I was having severe hip pain that I had a lesion on my femur. I was mortified! Now the oncological ortho wants to put a rod in my leg to prevent it from breaking. Then possible radiation & another drug to strengthen my bones. Has anyone had this procedure?? I don't know what's next. Thanks for letting me share my LONG story. It's great to be able to communicate with others who are going thru the same thing.
