Hi Wayne, So sorry to hear that Maryanne is still having trouble with her breathing, but she is in the best possible place and once the fluid has been drained it will be much easier for her. We all know how hard the waiting for results is, it is one of the worst things about this and everyone gets paranoid about it. I’m thinking of you both and sending lots of love and hugs to you.
God bless, Dianne x x x
good morning ladies,
ok here we go and yes you guessed it you just know when they are going on another bomb run so too speak and one just landed straight in my lap AS USEALL !!! ok it seems like there is cancer in the right lung now , too be honest i think i knew all though i have no knowledge of medcine (just what you read on the net) so any information or experience anyone have had of this will be greatly excepted, now also they said chemo in a couple of weeks ? now too me surely time is the thing with all this scummy c**p ,i know or at least i think i know with the bones they can control this and get it in remission just not sure about the lung, anyway i hope everone else is having a good day ,love too each and everyone,
wayne, everyday passed is one closer too a cure
Hello Wayne,
So sorry that your worse fears have been confirmed,I do hope that Maryanne, is at least a bit more comfortable after the fluid has been drained.
Sorry that I can’t comment on lung mets,but I am sure there will be lots of ladies, coming on with support and advice.
I know that you want the treatment started straight away, but I imagine that Maryanne has got to get her strength back before they can give her chemo,but I am sure they will do everything possible,and when you get the treatment plan in place,you will both feel a bit more in control.
In the meantime, look after yourself, you have got to stay strong for your lovely lady, and your family.
Thinking of you, and sending lots of love to you all, Mary xx
Wayne,
this cancer is totally crap and thinking of you and Maryanne. So wish I could say something that would make it better. She does have a wonderful partner by her side.
Sending you both hugs

Hi Wayne, Terribly sorry to see that the cancer is in Maryanne’s lung. I haven’t any experience of lung mets, but I know that there is a lot they can do for it. Setting up the treatment plan always takes a bit of time (I think I waited about 5 weeks before I started the chemo this last time) so don’t be too concerned about that. As Mary says, they will have to make sure that Maryanne’s body is strong enough to take the chemo and that her bloods are ok etc. It’s all horrendous I know, but it will hopefully begin to get better over the next few weeks. Don’t give up, stay strong and don’t let this wicked disease get you down too much - otherwise it’s winning. We’re all thinking of you and sending loads of love to you both. Dianne x x x
Hi Wayne
Just found your post here about lung mets. My chemo for secondaries in my bones, lungs and liver was Carboplatin plus Gemcitabine for 6 doses. I have been fortunate and my tumours have significantly reduced and my symptoms, back ache and breathlessness are all under control. There is hope. Don’t worry they will give your wife her treatment as soon as it is safe and suitable to do so. Good luck.
Sue

Hi Wayne
So sorry to hear about the awful time you and Maryanne are having, and to say you are in my prayers, hoping that things will improve for her very soon. I too have lung mets, although they haven’t given me any symptoms yet, but no doubt I have all this to come.
Best wishes
Linda

hiya too all you lovley ladies,
ok let me get straight down too it before i forget, right we saw the oncologist,oh hang on did i tell you all they glued the lung? well just incase i did not its done ,how they done this they blew powder in too the drain tube and that was that the doc said its 75% success rate and if it did not work they just do it untill it do work!!! anyway the oncologist right he came round too the hospital bed too explain things ,he said its a definate breast cancer BUT its in the fluid which they drained from the lung all 2 1/2 liters anyway he said it can be delt with he also thinks the femara and bonefos would do the job and then yep you guessed it the sodding bomb was dropped again ,when he said but i think we will do a 4 months course of chemo too be on the safeside which really miffed me and maryanne but if we are dead honest with ourselfs hes right 100% i think if im honest she is more angry about losing her hair again after she just grew it but thats the way the cookie crumbles ,i said i dont really care as long as she is happy i certainly wont go anywhere as i said too you all before igot married too stay married and we will do our best too stay on top this scummy c**p and laugh in the face of it, stiff british upper lip and all the rest of it . anyway we need too go too a chemo prep meet this friday and we start chemo friday after so should be done by christmas, talk about HAPPY CHRISTMAS bloody hell, anyway i hope you are all having a good weekend loads of love too you all,
wayne eveyday passed is one closer too a cure
