I'm really worried because my wife has been getting this pain in her breast, more often on the left side. What kind of specialist should we see about this?

I'm sorry to hear about your wife's discomfort. It's best to consult a breast specialist or a general surgeon to evaluate the pain. They can assess her symptoms, conduct necessary tests, and guide her further.

If a cancer has spread to the lungs, liver, and colon, is it still treatable? For someone with CHF, would chemo or other treatments be an option? What's the survival rate in cases like this? If it's advanced, can chemo or surgery actually help, or is it too risky given the CHF? I need a straightforward answer about what to expect in this situation.

When cancer has spread to the lungs, liver, and colon (a metastatic situation), it is still treatable, but the outlook is generally less favorable than if the cancer were localized. Chemotherapy and other treatments may still be options, even for someone with CHF, but the decision-making process must be individualized based on the specific cancer type, stage, and the patient's overall health, including the severity of their CHF. Survival rates vary depending on the cancer type, treatment response, and individual factors, with some patients living several years despite metastasis.
