Dx at 33 her+er+cancer. 3 years nearly clear. I now have extensive spine mets fractured bones in agony hence A&E. Scans showed mets and liver and lung lesions multiples. also tiny mark noticed on my head but they don’t know if this is any thing yet.
Lots of fluid on lungs but because no symptoms really they think I’m well and treatment will really sort me out.
I’m crying about my poor kids and my dad I can’t believe this is happening and I’m scared of dying ;(
Hi Carolina I have liver and lung Mets didn’t have a break from primary was diagnosed with secondaries half way through treatment had a scan about a month ago and some have disappeared and the rest have shrank I’m on docetaxcol herceptain and perjeta other ladies on here are through their treatment so they will be able to help you more take care Julie X X X x
of course you can’t stop crying, this is terrible news to receive and you will be in shock. It’s particularly devastating when you have a young family. Everything seems very bleak right now, but there IS hope. In a few days/weeks, when you have got your head around it a bit and there is a treatment plan in place, it will seem less scary. There is much that can be done and many of us are doing well many years later. My daughter was 8 when I was diagnosed with liver secondaries and I didn’t think I’d see her go to secondary school. Now she has passed her test and is driving around in my car!
hang in there, cry all you like, and lean on your friends and family. Just do whatever helps you, choose to spend time with the people who support you best (some friends will be hopeless, others who you maybe know less well will come up trumps).
i hope you are able to get some sleep. Let us know how you are
You have come to the right place, for support, kindness and a wealth of information. I am newly diagnosed liver and hip and it’s overwhelming at times. I hope reading the other messages has helped, it certainly gives me inspiration. If you need to cry then do, I am sending you a massive hug .
Hey Carolina, sweetie it’s such a huge thing to take in, I know exactly how you feel, I was dx with liver mets just a couple of weeks ago straight from the off. I’ve had a mastectomy and start FEC on Monday. It is so frightening but you will get stronger. I cry everyday but it’s only human Carolina, try to concentrate on the here and now. Ask your GP for something to ease with anxiety, it certainly helped for me and now I only take one when I really feel overwhelmed. You will be ok. Kind thoughts to you and a big hug, I find just being in touch with others who know exactly how I’m feeling immensely calming, keep posting. Just to make everyone smile, my 12 year old son seems to think I’m going to look like Donald Trump if I wear a wig. I cried with laughter and it felt wonderful. Xxxx
