Hi I was diagnosed on the 31st of October and since then it feels like life has stood still. Original breast cancer was in Nov 2017. Lumpectomy and radiotherapy then letrozole followed. All was ok it seemed except letrozole made me ache a lot as did the zoledronic acid infusions every 6 mths. I had a bone scan a year ago to check pain was wow bro letrozole and when that was clear I was told by onchologist not to worry. Just meds. Then about 6 weeks ago I woke up with pain I my stomach. It felt bad but went the next day. My family pushed me to check with my GP. He said it’s the meds. But would like an ultrasound to check my gallbladder. There it was. 3 small tumours on my liver. St s an followed and found a spot o lung and tummy too. Oncho,list said it’s treat me for years and hopes it’s hormone as the first one. Then meds not chemo. I’ve since had a full body bone scan and liver biopsies yesterday. Results on Friday. Feeling really scared ?
Hi Nellie,
i just want to reach out to you and let you know I ‘hear’ you. Time does feel like it stands still - at the moment I feel like friends who live locally to me are getting excited about and ready for Christmas and I feel isolated and not wanting to bring people down.
When you finished your hospital treatment, it’s natural to think that part of your life is over. I am truly sorry that you are now having further tests and as you’ve said, now waiting to find out results.
I am here if you want to chat, I always used to think that I had a lot of patience but I am seeing my oncologist on Monday to get CT scan results and I am like a bear with a sore head at the mo.
Whatever the results for you on Friday, I sincerely wish you well and that you have someone with you to help absorb the information. Sending you a virtual hug and I am here if you ever want to talk.
I was diagnosed in January 19 with MBC and remember the daily horror of waking up with that knowledge. It’s hard going, especially with all the tests and waiting for results. But it can get easier with time and life can be enjoyable again. Do what you can to manage your thoughts so that some light gets in there, give yourself plenty hugs and time out, breath deeply and hang on in there Nellie. My fingers are crossed for you for tomorrow’s results. x x
