Hi, today I have been diagnosed with lung mets. Not exactly expecting it but feeling good as oncologist today was really positive about there being lots of treatment options to try. Initially diagnosed last year in May with Her2+ BC. Neoadjunctive chemo plus surgery x2, rads and ongoing herceptin. Just wondered if there is anyone else out there newly diagnosed with mets and in a similar position. Xx

Hi Lucy,

I was diagnosed in april near start of lockdown with mets to right lung, liver, 1 rib and left hip. My primary was 2015, grade 3 triple positive so was on hormone treatment for 4 years, tamoxifen until mets found, big shock! Just had last chemo today, round 6, I’m going to be on herceptin and perjeta every 3 weeks and I’m waiting for my first CT scan since treatment. I’m 39.

Im 55 diagnosed with secondaries to lung chest wall shoulder muscle and one  spot in bone in May , on tablet chemo plus herceptin and perjeta - on cycle 6 had my first scan results and tumours now cant be seen apart from my tiny bone met that is healing - so for now my chemo is working , fingers crossed your first line treatment gives you lots of years x

Hi Lucy have just been diagnosed with lung mets .Have been on palbacilib for 2 years which kept my cancer under control. So it was a huge shock to hear cancer spread to lungs .Am not sure of next treatment, but will be having biospy scans etc , and then they will decide what’s best .Feel pretty down at moment x

Hi Lucy

after an 11 year break from cancer where to be honest I thought I’d kicked its butt my cancer is stage 4 lung met too. 
My oncologist too is very upbeat though I know it because of the length of time I’ve been free from it. Chemo starts on Monday for me. Feeling very positive though as I did before.
