Booked a place on the this weekend’s event - Younger Women with Secondaries Together event in Manchester?
Feedback has said it can be helpful to talk on the Forums beforehand and this thread is a chance for you to say hello and “meet” others attending the event. I will check in and if you have any questions do let me know and I will do my best to answer them.
My name is Emma, I’m 42, married with 2 boys aged 8 and almost 3. I was diagnosed with secondary BC in April 2001, after being given a stage 2 diagnosis just a few months earlier after my mastectomy. The cancer has spread via my blood to my liver, and I have ER+ her2- cancer. I have responded well to treatment so far, and had my second scan post liver resection just yesterday, so . This will be the first time that I have met others in my position, so I’m looking forward to it, but equally very nervous too. I think the opportunity to just say hi before we get there tomorrow is a really good idea, so here I am! x
I’m Rachael, 32 from North Yorkshire. I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in September and I have had no previous cancer.
I am currently having chemo and will then be getting the train to Manchester, hoping I don’t feel too poorly following treatment. Some weeks I am okay others I struggle. My husband is going to travel with me and then return home.
