Yes please Carole. I’ve sent you a pm

Angela, I’ve just been catching up with this thread, so sorry to hear about your new diagnosis. I was diagnosed with secondaries in January, I’ve been on a couple of different chemos since then, and at least I can tell you they are a lot more doable than our old friend fec-t! Some SEs of course, but nothing unmanageable, mainly fatigue.
Are you getting some emotional support such as counseling? It’s hard to adjust to the new reality but it can be done, but take all the help you can get. You are one strong lady, as we all know! Sending love and hugs.xxx

Thanks tatyana. It’s good to hear you’re doing well on your chemos.
Yes, I rather not be going through this, but I’ll be okay. I can’t wait to start blasting the little b******

Apparently I may not need chemo as my oncologist is hoping to use one of these new cdk46 drugs.
Then hopefully surgery. ?
My next ct is booked for Saturday so hoping to have more answers next week. X

I might feel like I need counselling in the future but for now I’m okay.
I think it helps that I’ve decided this is not a death sentence and there will be something out there to put me into NED and keep me there.
There have been some really big break throughs this year with these new targeted therapies.
Oncologist hasn’t ruled out maybe immunotherapy in the future either.
My bc nurse says she has ladies 10 years on and doing great and they didn’t have access to as many drugs so I’m hopeful. ?

Oh Angela hun its not bloody fair, im so sorry to hear your news im absolutely gutted that day we met at radiotherapy we were both buzzing about coming to the end of treatments if you hadn’t been having tge diep would you have even had this scan? Im furious with our trust the lack if scans after initial op then completion of treatment is just rediculous it needs changing if you need to talk im here hun im always a pm away xxx
This pissing disease makes me so angry but as tge other ladies have said today the treatment is excellent and you are a tough cookie sending you ???

The ladies on here have shown true resilience which you have bucket loads of Caroles sister is also a fantastic example of treatment available Angela its sounds aas though your onc has a treatment plan for you and potential for other things im sorry for the late reply just picked up thread before and was just shocked excuse my previous rant i was just so angry at the disease its a sneaky piece of ? again Angela im her if you need a ???

Carole great news about your sister :heart::heart:Tatyana the Greek weather followed you back, ???mishy, hair is doing a bit of a mia farrow circa when she married mr Sumatra, and it just blooming wonderful to have hair ???:sparkles::sparkles::sparkles:Shi xx

Mr Sinatra ??predictive text gremlins ??:sparkles::sparkles:Shi xx

Thanks for all of the wonderful words of support ladies. And thanks for the goody bag shi, I love it. ?
Michelle it’s my fault I didn’t have an earlier scan. I was supposed to have one after chemo but the wait between scan and appointment was six weeks. I was too anxious with the long wait. My oncologist said they weren’t really concerned about the tiny things that showed up on my original ct so it was fine to cancel my appointment.
Clearly, I made a mistake with that one. ?
New ct is Saturday teatime. Hoping to have more answers early next week.
I’m just desperate to find out how much there is and to get a plan together. Apparently it’s very unusual to be in only the liver so they’ll be checking for further spread. ?
P.s. I enjoyed your rant. ?

Food glad you enjoyed it a bit of Northern ? its nit your fault Angela its the bloody little piece of ?, once scan etc is done you can get things nire settled and I’ll keep everything crossed for you and op and tabletss would be great ? love Ahis little goody bag!!! Keep posting we will keep your pecker up ?

Predicted text monster is back that was meant to say good not food and Shi not ashi ?

Angela been thinking about you today hope everything wenr went well keeping everything crossed for you ???

Thanks Michelle.
Scan was fine. The contrast didn’t make me feel sick this time so that’s a bonus. Results not until Friday. Back in the waiting game.
Hope your results have came back negative. ?
I’ve got the family coming for dinner today so going to enjoy this sunshine with the grandchildren. ?
Nut roast for me as I’m terrified of eating meat pumped with oestrogen. X

Hi Angela clad sxan went ok its a shame you have to wait till Friday im keeping everything crossed its another beautiful day glad you’re doing something nice Im like you with meat now my kot are sick of chicken dinners i rarely eat red meat now still waiting fir my braca results and my mammo i figure mammo must be ik as i haven’t heard anything but still hoping the braca isn’t positive git my Grandaughter all next week as daughter back to work i was supposed to be too but was having a few problems getting back tgen found out when i was going that im being made redundant but nit till bloody Oct so i can’t look for anything else kr i won’t get my redundancy so my doc said to stay on sick leave as its not positive for me to go back on phased hours to have nothing at the end of it
Enjoy your day and good luck for Friday ??

Sorry bout the spelling not got me glasses on haha!! Now going in garden before it gets too hot!

i Don’t blame you for not going back to work. I wouldn’t either. Enjoy your granddaughter instead. ?
Well I managed to prep a dinner and I’ve been for a run already. It’s bloody ironic that I’ve never been fitter in my life as I am now. ?
As for the chicken, I read somewhere that chicken oestrogen is exactly the same as human. ?
No idea how correct that is mind. It’s put me off though. We used to eat loads of it. Not sure if that would effect you with you being tn though.

Hope you have a lovely Sunday. Xxx

Angela ??? for today xxx

Thanks for thinking of me Michelle.
So it seems there are around 7 small spots on my liver. So zoladex to shut down my ovaries as I’m still having heavy periods so bursting with oestrogen inspite of tamoxifen.
Then I’m starting on Ibrance and Palbociclib. Hopefully this will get me into remission (apparently there’s a very high chance)
Then hopefully surgery to remove anything else.
Liver biopsy soon to check the cancer hasn’t changed it’s receptors.
I was gutted to have to go back to the chemo ward for my injection this morning, but considering everything I’m feeling pretty positive I can tackle this.
Onwards and upwards.

I’m hoping everyone else is doing well. Hubby has the day off so we’re going to walk into town for some lunch in the sunshine. ? x

Im so pleased to hear that they can do that for you fingers crossed for your biopsies have a lovely day with the hubby Angela ?

Angela

Im pleased they have an optimistic treatment plan for you.  Fingers crossed everything goes well.

 

 Hope you enjoyed lunch out. xx
