Retina

Honestly I’m quite fed up… Seems every week there’s something else…diagnosed with pleura mets in sept 2014. Original BC in 2007. Meningiomas found in oct 2014, craniotomy 5 November, released and had seizures back in on 10th. Discharged on the 15th been home and healthy ish since. Went to get my eyes checked at opthomologist as eyesight bad and bingo I have mets on both retinas. Feeling riddled! Anyone else out there?

Sandy pants,so sorry about your news. What an awful year you have had. I’ve got mets in spine,pelvis,ribs,liver and lungs which has spread really quickly in a year so I know how you feel.
This forum is a great place to find support and advice and the ladies are very friendly. So please feel free to join a thread . Quite a lot of us hang out on bone mets thread regardless of mets and we keep an eye on each other.
Massive hugs coming your way, Helen xxxxxxxxxxx

Sandy after reading all you have been through it seems so unfair you have yet more rubbish to deal with. A couple of friends had bc to the retina, I think it’s more common than we sometimes realise. Are you having some rads?
I hope you can get these dealt with and then have a much quieter time of it. Take care. X
