Hello dear. She will require treatment

Hello,

Since it has spread to the bones, its a stage 4 disease. She will require treatment depending upon er pr and her2 test.

Please GP for these tests. If er pr ks positive then the hormonal tablet will help. If negative then chemo infusion will help.

Hope I have answered your query.
