Hi Camilla, popping in to give support. I'm ER+, HR-, and had complete LN clearance. It was a bit more of a problem for me than the booby stuff. It's more a smash and grab. 7/15 LN proved cancerous, so that was the right decision. My first CT scan showed an 'anomaly' in one lung, nothing to worry about (!) and I plodded on with the planned treatment, op, chemo, rads. Two mets were found in each lung one week before the end of my rads in October last year. I totally sympathise with where you are. I think devastated does not begin to describe your feelings at the moment. However, if I can echo my Onco, there are loads of tricks in the bag! My treatment continued - so I finished my 5 boost rads, and then went straight onto a drug called Palbociclib. This works with the aromatise inhibitor Letrozole to restrict the growth of tumours. I had started Letrozole before my radiotherapy, so that was always the long term plan. I have finished three cycles ( 12 weeks) of the Palbociclib and my CT scan shows all four mets have shrunk. So yay me! 😍 . I have accessed my Maggies centre who have provided a great deal of support throughout my whole journey. My GP also offered access to their Macmillan nurse, but I get all my support from Maggies . I go to the monthly secondary BC group meeting and find strength and support from other members. Our motto is - we're living with cancer not dying from it. Have faith in your medical team. They will be discussing your case, taking all the facts into account, and working out your treatment. Please PM me, Camilla if you need to talk. X
