Any advice as I am about to start chemo THP on Thursday 10/3 I am 40 stage 4 triple positive Mets to liver (3 small spots). I am planning on cold cap to see if it helps. Any long term survival as this is terrifying I am still trying to keep my spirits up and positive.

Starting a new treatment can bring up so many emotions, and it's completely natural to feel scared while also trying to stay positive. Many people in this community have walked similar paths and found ways to manage both the physical and emotional challenges that come with treatment. Consider sharing updates about your experience as you feel comfortable - your journey could provide valuable support to others facing similar decisions, and connecting with others here who understand what you're going through can be incredibly helpful during this time.

I have read of many woman stage 4 who have tried targeted immunotherapy and Verzenio and have had good results. We have a Verzenio Facebook group. You can read and search stage 4 NEAD or NED stories. I’m sorry you are on this journey.
