  Nobody should tell you the answer to this on here. Every person is different. Your mum’s doctor should tell her and you this information and if you have any questions, ask the docs.

  Since you are informed that it is mets from breast cancer, it means the cancer is already in a very advanced stage.
  If the mets to lung are 3 or less with no other site involved and small in size, then they can be operated upon.
  But since your mother already has bony mets I don’t know whether surgery will be advisable, you can check with your oncologist.

  No it is not curable. I am so sorry. However, treatment can certainly extend her life expectancy.

  When chemo and radiation is done as part of the initial treatment it is in an effort to kill the cancer cells and stop it in its tracks. If that fails and the cancer is able to move through the lymph system or blood stream it is free to travel anywhere in the body. At this point we are only able to tell where it went when it is large enough to see on radiology

  Try this appraoch and you will know in a few weeks.
  This is the free alternative to chemotherapy for cancer patients.Do it and you will know from the future test results.You can also do it alongside any medical treatment.
  Cancer hates oxygen and cannot live in a high-oxygen environment.If you want to supplement the medical treatment you receive(or not receive) with some alternative therapy then this is for you. You need to help your body to build up your immune system.The breathing exercises – pranayam is a holistic approach creating extra oxygen supply in the body and will slowly help with the health problem.Do the pranayam to see the benefits.Build up your timing slowly and after four weeks at the suggested maximum duration you will start to notice benefits gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy,stop and resume later.
  What is known: pranayam helps the body heal itself. How it works in the body is not known – but people may build their own theory. You have to do it yourself for your benefit.
  The small print: Keep doing pranayam after you are better for minimum 30 minutes a day for rest of life to maintain health.

  People who have been treated successfully, should do pranayam as well, as there is a chance of recurrence.

  The pranayam techniques:
  Bhastrika – Take a long deep breath into the lungs(chest not tummy) via the nose and then completely breathe out through the nose.Duration upto 5 minutes.

  Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day) Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.

  Anulom Vilom – Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril
  then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril
  then -keeping the left nostril closed deep breath-in through right nostril
  then – close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
  This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
  Repeat this cycle for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day(maximum 60 minutes in one day).
  You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.

  Bhramri Pranayam -Close eyes. Close ears with thumb, index finger on forehead, and rest three fingers on base of nose touching eyes. Breathe in through nose. And now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee.
  Duration : 5 to 10 times

  Only by doing you will benefit and will feel good that you can do something to help the body.Copy and print this to improve your technique and stay focused.This is simplified pranayam for everyone and you do not have to go to classes to learn. This is for life, unlike short term classes where you do it in the class then stop when classes are over.

  All cancers are curable.
  As long as your mother can eat, swallow, drink, go to the toilet on her own, she can be cured.
  This is how we do it in my country the Philippines:
