Hi All
I was here around 4 and 1/2 years ago and did not expect to return. This time not so good. I was first diagnosed when I was 38, treatment was lumpectomy, radiotherapy and tamoxifen. The past 12 months or so Ive had mastitis twice treated with antiobiotics the past few weeks have had a dry niggling cough. When I went for my annual check i was sent for an x-ray which come back looking okay apart from “fluffy shadows” but no masses evident. Was not too worried as though most probably an infection? Sent for CT Contrast on chest and abomen 2 days later, I receive the devasting news of the spread. I start pallative Chemo next week. Worried and scared.

Welcome and like Helen I’m sorry you have to join us here. Whatever chemo you are having there will be others that have been through it and can offer help and support. Take care, it’s such a shock at the beginning, be kind to yourself. X
Hello,2ndtime,so sorry you have to join us but you will meet the friendliest,supportive bunch of ladies on here.
I was diagnosed with PBC and bone mets from the start and a year later liver,lung and “things” in chest wall.
As Belinda has said pop over to our cafe which is a Cancer free zone and we have a laugh,usually at poor Marie’s expence.
Or like a lot of us on bone mets regardless of where your mets are.

Sending you a massive welcome hug,Helen xxxxxx
Thanks all for your replies. Its been a bit of a rollercoaster week. Lots of hospital visits and a full bone scan done on Monday, just waiting now for the results of that. Kinda scared at Chemo too as I didnt go through that last time. Sooner the better though for it to start. I hope to be on here lots and share the experience and be good to chat to people in the same but unfortunate situtation. The sun is shining today, long may it continue xxx
