To Paula, Hannah and Anna,
I wish I had some words of wisdom for you, but I don’t. I just want you all to know that I’m thinking of you and praying for you. I just can’t believe how evil this disease is.
If there is anything I can do to help or support any of you, please just shout, I know that I couldn’t have got through the nine months since my DX without the help of some of the amazing people on here.
Thinking of you all tonight

Hi everyone, and thankyou so much for your kind wishes.
Hannah, i saw my oncologist on wednesday, still waiting for body scan results but bone scan was clear, so i guess joint and bone pain is down to chemo and periods stopping. So thats 1 less worry yay!
I see him again in 2 weeks and so hopefully will have more of a plan by then, he said he would be waiting for effects of rads to wear off before starting further treatment. Being triple negative it has been suggested parp inhibitors, which i have mentioned to him.
My hair is all falling out now, but hey ho, at least i wont be too hot under my wig!
Also, very lovely mac nurse said so long as OH is with me, i can go swim! yay! i sooooo cant wait! gonna spend saturday celebrating and sunday chilling!
big hug to you, Hannah you can do this

Hi Paula,
Only just seen this thread but wanted to say that I too had a single brain met diagnosed last June. It was at the base of the brain and was sucessfully removed at the National Nerological Hospital in London. The surgury was very easy, no real discomfot and I was out of hospital after 2 nights. Unfortunately I was also diagnosed with liver, lung and bone mets as a result of all the investigations prior to surgury. I have had several subsequent MRIs that have all shown clear so no need for radiotherapy just regular checks. I understand the fear which alomost paralysed me at the time but I’m getting on with things now.
all the best
Louise
I’m sorry I missed this post. I’m amazed at how all three of you are coping - and coping you are. Marmite once said to me, ‘none of us could ever have imagined we’d be able to go through what we’ve gone through’ - and I think that simple phrase gives you an idea of how much tougher you are than you ever thought you would be. That you have resources far greater than you ever imagined, this much is true. I hear the sadness and despair in your posts, but also the optimism and the desire to conintue to live.
You are all amazing and you have every right to be proud of yourselves for getting through this terrible challenge.
You have my very best wishes, and my admiration. I wish you all well
Hi Girls
Good news - we now have a plan of action!!!
The neuro surgeons looked at my scans and reports this afternoon and feel that surgery is an option. I am going to meet the neuro surgeon on Monday afternoon to find out more about the surgery and have been told to take a bag as I may be straight in on Monday if there is a bed available. Regardless, they want to do the procedure sometime next week – YIKES!!!
I didn’t think it was possible to feel such conflicting emotions. Part of me is now feeling so hopeful that there could be a good outcome and the other part of me is so so so hugely terrified of the surgery. I know it was the best result I could have hoped for though.
Louise – thank you so much for your reassuring post. It was just what I needed to hear. Hope you have the rest of your mets under control.
Anna – so pleased your bone scan was clear. Fingers crossed for a clear body scan too. Your posts sound more positive which is great to hear, can’t believe you are going swimming already – you go girl!
Hannah – am so sorry you are having such a rotten time. Hopefully you will get an action plan in place when you see your oncologist on Tuesday. I know I always feel more in control when I know exactly what the plan is. Over halfway on the WBR – you can do it!!!
Everyone - Thank you again for all your support, you are such a wonderful group of ladies X X X
Paula great news that it looks like they can operate {{{hugs}}} will be thinking of you next week… xxx
