Some advice please

Hello, I am writing this question on behalf of my friend Lil, I have asked advice for her from you before, but she is staying with me for a couple of days which is lovely, but she would like to ask this:

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast eleven years ago, it was grade 3 HER2POSITIVE. I had a lumpotimy lympth nodes removed and tested and ended up having cemo radio therapy and tamoxfin for five years. After a chest infection last Autumn the doctor sent me for a chest xray because of low blood pressure. The scan came back cloudy so they started giving me CT scans. Beginning of Dec 09 they sent me for a bone scan and on the 21st Dec the chest specialist told me I had bone cancer in my ribs, pelvis and spine, and that I did not have that long to live. I was in shock obviously, and because I had not had cancer for 11 years they had to start eliminating my various organs. During the holiday period I started noticing twinches in my bones which had probably been there a long time. In Jan I saw the organ oncologist to start giving me scans and biopsys on my various organs. In the meantime i was feeling light headed and after walking some distance I feel faint. Eventually on April 1st my oncologist for breast cancer told me that is where the source of my bone cancer is from, so treatment started with arimadex and zometec. I am able to work a few hours a week. I have little bone pain but do feel very strange and light headed after doing too much. PS I also have small livermets.
Does anyone else get these strange lightheaded spells or know why and what causes these?

BessieBoo - I don’t have any answers for your friend but wonder whether it would be a good idea to post this in one of the ‘secondaries’ categories.

Hi Bessieboo

As Ann mentions it may be a good idea to post your questions in the Living with Secondary BC section of the forum as you will probably receive more replies. Also your friend may find it helpful to give the BCC helpline a call and talk theses questions through with one of the trained members of staff. The lines are open today from 9 to 2pm and the number is 0808 800 6000.
