Hello, I'm new here. Almost 4 weeks ago I noticed my nipple was inverted, and a little bit of pain (more like itching) on my breast. I went to the doctors, who quickly referred me to the hospital. I had an ultrasound, mammogram and biopsy on the same day. A week later told it was breast cancer; ok I could do this! But then I went for an MRI (what a horrible, noisy machine) and a CT scan. The next appointment just a month from noticing my nipple, I was told it has spread to my liver and spine. Now it's secondary, now it's... scary. So I said goodbye to the first doctor and nurse, and have seen sent to a different hospital to meet a new team and get a bone scan on Wednesday. It seems surgery is off the table, and I'm back to waiting for results. When I read about secondary, most people have beaten breast cancer first. Has anyone found out like I have, that it's there and spread, and there to stay? I am the first person in my family to get this, and right now I feel like denial/flippancy is a good way to go. So I'm doing that. I'm 37.
