What is Metastatic Breast Cancer? - Dr Tasha explains in this video

Metastatic breast cancer, also known as secondary breast cancer, or stage 4 breast cancer is when the primary cancer has spread into other areas of the body.
In my previous video I share the story of Sarah Harding, as far as it is known in the public domain, on her breast cancer journey. In today's video, I wanted to talk more about what metastatic breast cancer is.
Hi, I'm Dr Tasha
I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon and Medical Educator. After 20 years helping people to understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration and stress that my patients go through.
As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.
But I’m here to help.
Many people think that as a Breast Specialist Surgeon, I just do surgery. But that’s far from the truth. In fact, the majority of my patients don’t need any treatment at all - just advice and support.
The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.
So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate and reliable information from a trusted source - a Breast Health Doctor - all in one place.
That’s exactly what you’ll find on My Breast My Health, welcome to my KZread Channel.

    My wife died of metastatic breast cancer 6 months ago. After the diagnosis in July 2021 that it has spread to liver she survived only for 14 months. she was under chemotherapy in one of the best hospitals in India throughout and the last Ultra sound scan done in August 22 showed much improvement as stated by the treating doctor, but she died 45 days later. Could her life have been prolonged at least for one more year with better quality drugs? She was also having Rheumatoid Arthritis for some time. Could her RA have hastened her end?

    What is the difference between metastatic and metastasis? Both spread to other parts of the body, so I am s bit confused by the terms.
