I thought i’d make use of this very welcome new section of the forum to share some good news.
I have just passed the two year milestone since my liver and bone mets were diagnosed and my CT scan, done today, shows NED. I’ve had taxotere chemo and pamidronate and am now on bondronat, zoladex and arimidex. Last year three sessions of radio frequency ablation successfully treated my 10 liver mets and my doc said today that the treated areas are all healing with healthy new tissue. I get hot flushes and aches from the hormone treatment and a pain in my hip that comes and goes from the bone mets but am otherwise in good health. I hope that this section of the forum will in time grow with many positive stories about living with secondaries.
Hooray Heather - for having such great news and also for being the first (I think) to post on here Well done with all your treatments and you sound as if you are in good health, the aches come with the territory don’t they?

Hi Lemongrove and Dawn, just thought I would add that in a few months it will be three years and there’s no change on my scans other than healing bone mets. I’m training to run a 10k race in July (with my onc’s blessing) - never thought I would be in a position to say that three years ago!
Thanks so much for sharing your good news - it’s great to get a positive sense of what can happen with good treatment. Long may your good health continue!
