Hi all you beautiful brave ladies on here, my story is long but i want bore you with the details.
Back in 2020, left breast invasive lobular bc ER+ HER- lumpectomy, rads and hormone treatment done, all good. Then Dec 23 found after many scans extensive bone mets. Put on targeted therapy which kept it at bay until June of this year.
The cancer has jumped ship to my omentum and peritoneum, am now taking capecitabine to which im on my 3rd cycle.
I finding the whole thing extremely frightening, as i dont know how long the chemo tablets will work for giving my past history with treatments, it appears nothing will stop this disease for long enough, im only 58 and have so much i want to do, but my energy and strength is fading, finding it all a real struggle even though im known for my strength and determination, along with a brave face and smile.
Just reaching out for, i dont know what? Reassurance i suppose

Hi Purplerose:
Every bit of news seems to cause a lot of worry - but stay positive. I’m a great believer in positive thinking, hard sometimes but keep going. I too had a breast cancer metastatic diagnosis about two years ago. Was on palbococlib for about 6 months then started feeling nauseous. Now on capacetabine and although side effects are not pleasant (lost both toenails and fingernails are soft and flaky) it seems to be keeping the cancer at bay for a while for which I’m thankful. I too feel tired and stiff.
Try to keep positive and take each day as it comes, go ahead and plan things , it gives you something to look forward to. Take care and big hugs to everyone out there. XXX
