I have recently been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in my liver, lung and bones. Is anyone else on the the site going through the same. I have just had my first dose of Toxatere with my second one due in a couple of days. I’m feeling a bit lost and just totally unsure about my future and would like to chat with others who have gone or are going through the same as I am. I can find threads for ladies with mets in either bones, liver or lungs but not all three. is anyone out there

Hi Jane
It’s not uncommon for people to be diagnosed with mets to liver lung and bones. I myself have got bone and lung mets.
It’s normal to feel lost and scared, it’s a good chemo that you are on and hopefully you will get a good response., I did it’s 5 and half years since I had tax chemo.
I don’t think as many people are posting on the new website, that’s why you probably haven’t seen many posting with your diagnosis.
I remember being very lost at the beginning but I’ve found much enjoyment in the last 5 years and hopefully you will.
You do have a living with secondary breast cancer group near you (run by BCC) you will find a lot of support there or visit the live chat session on a Tuesday night, we are a very friendly
Best wishes

Hi I have secondary breast cancer to bones, liver and lungs. Is anyone interested in getting together or meeting up in the northampton area. It’s such an isolating illness and it would be gd to share ups and downs or just to have a coffee and a chat . Thanks x x
Hi Jane,
I have also been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in my liver, lung and bones. I have just completed my 5th cycle of Docetaxal along with Herception and Pertuzumab. It is a really scary time but I’ve actually found this site very reassuring and it has given me a lot of hope (I stick to reading all the inspiring stories and really do believe that a positive outlook is serving me well)! I know everyone deals with things in the best way for them and I don’t know how helpful I can be but I can try! I’ve only just signed up to this site so you are probably alot further forward with your treatment than when you posted - I hope its all going well for you!

Hi Sharon
Thanks for your reply, I have just finished my sixth dose of taxotere and for the first time in what seems like a very long time, I’m starting to feel almost normal. The side effects for me were horrendous. How are you coping with the treatment. My second scan is next week so I’ll find out how things are then. My last one was positive so hers hoping
