Hi all. Bit emotional. Diagnosed breast cancer - chemo and skin sparing mastectomy 1999/2000. No problems till June 2015 then short of breath and had malignant effusion. Mets in hips, spine, sternum and lung. Good news denusomab,letrozole and calcium D3 have been holding it. Scans 3 x6 monthly depending on findings. No obvious side effects from treatment.
Today - all small changes but: fluid on lung, small increase in lungs and now small areas in liver. Got a lump on sternum that oncologist feels is likely to be related to mets - sounds pathetic but it is in my face every time I look in a mirror and people are noticing it. I’m almost 63, still working 3 days a week and managed a 10 mile charity walk two weeks ago. So much to be grateful for but tonight feeling overwhelmed ?. Marie
