Hello Blondie
Thank you so much for continuing to update us. I'm nearly 5 since since dx with grade 3 primary + secondaries to liver & lungs in Nov 1012 and currently well on Herceptin & Letrazole.
I clung to your story in my early years and your longevity gives me comfort and hope now.
Best wishes all. Sarah

Hi Blondie, I've only just started coming on forum again as I have struggled so much from the start and have been really down. Its just over 15 months since this all started with secondaries from the start.  I know treatments are improving all the time and your story gives me such hope. Thanks for sharing. x 🙂

Hello whyvon
Hello and welcome ..sorry you have had to join the secondary club ..if you pop over to the secondary threads you will find a lot of help and support if you need kindness or even just a rant !!

[helen44]

Thanks for sharing your story Blondie. So pleased that you are doing well, you are inspirational. Your story was one of the first that I saw on the forum when I joined just over 4 years ago with SBC, bone & later liver.

Take care, love Helen x

Bless you for posting this. I had been nearly 5 years clear since 2012. Now starting treatment for secondary breast cancer in vertebrae and possibly liver. Such a blow especially since I lost a friend at the end of last year. I am quite well albeit the ache in my back so a deep breath and lipstick on as I face feeling rubbish soon. I am blessed with family and friends keeping me in their thoughts and prayers but as I get ready to go and have my first monthly Denosumab injection, in between packing for Cornwall, reading this is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

[Bordacity]

It's great to read this I think it's all too easy to be negative but I intend to look forward and your post gives me real hope thank you xx

[Downbutnotout]

How very kind of you to post ..it's great news and whoop whoop for the magic of herceptin.
I'm sure the herceptin ladies will be so delighted . Sadly, I'm Her2 negative so it's not an option for me.

You've made my day.  Brilliant news.  Congratulations on the birth of your grandchild.  So happy for you and thanks for posting as it gives us so much hope.  xxxxd

[blondie]

April 2017 and diagnosed with secondaries to liver and bone in 2003 - still here and doing well! For those of you who are Her2 and on Herceptin - I have now been on Herceptin since December 2003.

This year saw a, surprise but very much welcomed, new grandchild. That makes four grandchildren that I have seen born and cherished since diagnosed with secondary breast cancer, something I never dreamt was a possibility in the early days of my secondary diagnosis. I have been able to see my own children grow into dependable, resourceful and caring adults and parents - for that I am eternally grateful.

i hope that news of my continued good health and fortune can give hope to fellow survivors and I wish you all the best luck in the world in your struggles with this disease.

All love

Blondie
