Have just been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in the sternum and scans shown it is just there so being referred for possible sternectomy if anyone has any info. Thank you

Hi EllyH

yes I had a sternectomy just over 8 weeks ago. I had a few complications related to my bodies reaction to the op, but the actual operation went really well and they got all the cancer out with good margins. I am recovering really well. Would be happy to answer questions/ share experiences
