What are my breast cancer treatment options now?
In reading your question, it appears that you are well informed with staging information and treatment details related to your cancer diagnosis.
Based on all the details you have included in your question and your current comments about your daily fevers and significant pain, I would recommend a second opinion both with a medical and radiation oncologist.
You have also included many details about your previous treatment for cancer, with that in mind, one source of information I would offer for your review prior to additional discussion with either your physician and or a second opinion is the following.
The NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network) clinical practice guidelines are considered a gold standard, and are a national recognized resource which identifies standards in care for the treatment of cancer.
Based on the description of your cancer, and recommendations within the NCCN guidelines, you could have the opportunity to review some additional treatment ideas.
I am including the link to help you access some of the detailed information you could reference when speaking to either your current physician and or when seeking a second opinion.
Begin with accessing this link and then follow the specific information related to treatment for stage IV breast cancer. You will find a detailed decision tree regarding additional testing and treatment options for someone with your cancer diagnosis.

I wish you the best in seeking additional treatment options.
