I was told that the cancer is going around and when it shows up they will treat the symptoms only since they can't stop it.. I don't know if it is in the blood, but it is in the lymph system.

It does not mean it is in your blood, it merely used it as a highway. Metastatic (or stage 4) cancer is difficult to treat, but in some cases can still be managed. Depends on how far and how deep the cancer has spread. Try to find a second opinion. And even if it is incurable, I've seen patients given 3 months to live go on for ten or more years.
