Hi all,I had breast cancer last yr ive now been told ive got cancer again in my left lung.was hoping to start a new tablet next week but ive just had a phone call to say I cant have them will need to start chemo again even though the dr said chemo wouldnt work .I feel totally let down after being told in september that my cancer had gone
I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. I know it’s hard and I can’t say I always practise what I preach but try to focus on the treatment. Secondaries are hard to face but although not curable can be treatable x
Cazbo, I’m on my way out the door for work. I can’t promise you this, but do hope it can give you some hope. I’ve had lung mets for 13 years. FF
Cazbo, I know how let down you must feel. I was told I was ‘cured’ 5 years after primary when I stopped treatment. Secondary was diagnosed a few months later. I’m still going fairly strongly 3 years later. Funnyface is the woman we look to for hope and inspiration. Hugs to you
Bon xx
IThanks for your recent post ff it gives us all hope. i will be 11 years with secondaries end of year and that includes the first 4 years where i was not treated at all because they read the scans wrong. So hang in there folks!
I’m another positive story, I’m in my 6th year of secondaries and my 24th year since my primary with a few local recurrences in between. I know our specialists want to allay fears but being told you are “cured” after 5 years might make you too complacent possibly?
Yes it’s really encouraging to hear how you have all preserved through the years and gives us hope. I was diagnosed with secondary cancer last year n thought I would only live a maximum of 2 years based on Dr Google!! It’s a blessing to hear there are so many doing well through the years. Thank you
I too have a pain at my hip but Dr just waved it off as perhaps arthritis or stg but it’s been improving. I am taking densonub injections once in 2 months now as I’m into my second year since bone metastasis. I didn’t know it was because of densonub
So sorry to hear this news . You must be devastated and no wonder you are confused. Did you get the opportunity to ask why you are having chemo when you have been told it won’t work ? Maybe it’s a different drug they are going to use ?
very best wishes
