Hi,

I live in Buckinghamshire and I am halfway through chemo having been told my breast cancer has spread to my liver, bones and lungs.

I was four years clear from my first diagnosis so
Like us all never expected it to return.

I just wanted to connect to people who have had a similar diagnosis as it’s all a bit scary.

Thanks

Hi,

 

So sorry you’ve had to join this club. I’m in North Oxfordshire so not too far away.

 

I was diagnosed just under a year ago with lung and bone mets (12 years after my primary) so I have an idea of how you might be feeling. It’s a huge thing to take in but it does get a bit easier as you get into the routine of treatment and develop ways to cope.

 

This forum is a great place to rant and rave and get advice from people who know what it’s like. The best place to chat or ask a question is on the “Bone mets please join in thread” which is under the Living with secondary breast cancer section.

 

Best wishes and hang in there!

Thank you for all your advise and it all sounds positive for you too . I am on the same drugs as you for my bones and let’s hope it’s knitts the bones back.

Thanks once again

Hi Sarah,

hope your fourth chemo goes well for you today. I am on chemo too. Have had capecitabine, which worked well for me for about two years, then Vinorelbine for six months, which didnt help me much…am now on Eribulin which is going great guns! I have mets in liver and bones. My primary was in 2001.

 

if you look on the secondary breast cancer bit of the forum under treatments, you will find threads for each of these, plus a bone mets thread. So you can chosse one or all of these to get support. 

 

Keep us posted as to how it goes, love and hugs,
