Original breast cancer diagnosis Oct 22, single masectomy and lymph node clearance then diagnosis of secondaries in bones of spine and pelvis so I now take abemaclib, letrozole and denusomab.
However I have recently felt a lump on a bone in my thigh and a lump in my wrist bone, could these be further mets?

I’m so afraid that i ways feel myself and sometimes feel new lumps, and think they are new, but sometimes they wete there before, just I didn’t notice thrm…can be that too. But i will definitely report them to your oncologist.

Hi jojosum,
Thanks for your post. It’s understandable you have questions about the new lumps you have found. It’s possible that these might be further bone metastasis (mets), but it’s very difficult to say for sure. As you have noticed these new areas, we would always suggest you discuss this with you oncologist or treatment team so they can assess them.

There is also a weekly Live chat session which runs on Tuesdays at 8.30-9.30pm.

Our face to face Living with Secondary Breast Cancer monthly meet up groups also give you the chance to meet and share experiences with other people who understand what you’re going through because they’re going through it too.
