Thanks all for your support, I've just got back from the Marsden, I had chest xrays and Ct scan Friday, chemo suspended, and the pain team came to see me, I'm on tablet slow release morphine, paracetamol, ibuprofen, something for the sharp pain, sennacot and stomach tablets, instead of liquid oramorph I have tablets instead. It might need tweeking up or down but she thinks she's got it about right. So in the kitchen is a pharmacy corner. I'm in bed as I only got three hours sleep last night then in for bloods at 8:30 this morning so I'm in pain still. Onc gave me the full once over and told me not to panic as there were alternatives for me. Ive had enough of writing as I'm tired.

Dear Blanna, I've just been reading this thread. I'm new to all this and I can't offer you any real words of advice or experience but I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and I am sending you positivity and strength for your meeting tomorrow. Don't give up. Love to you xx

Dear Blanna

Please try to remain calm I know it is not easy when you are faced with the thought it is spreading. I was in the same state last October when my bone mets increased by 5 and my skin mets are now covering most of my chest stomach and side. Your medical team will sort you out with a scan and possibly a change of treatment but they will give you more confidence tomorrow. Remember cancer feeds on stress don't let it get you down.

Sending you loads of love and (((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))) and good vibes for tomorrow. xxx

Blanna - joining the others and offering hugs and all good wishes. So sorry to hear you are in such pain - hubby obviously did the right thing in ringing the unit for you. Wishing good luck for tomorrow. There should be plenty of other options, treatment-wise, for you.

Hugs. Barton.x

Morning,

Thanks Nicky, my husband ended up phoning the Marsden in the early hours, I had to take my oramorph every hour,because the pain was Un bearable.

 This morning the bc nurse phoned and is referring me to the palliative care team as a matter of urgency. I did tell her I thought it had spread and she asked about when my next scans were, I'm in on Wednesday so should know what their thoughts are on the spread.

Hi blanna

Sorry you are in discomfort and also worried about your treatment. I'm sure you will be discussing these with your oncologist on Wednesday and they will be the people to tell you what is going on. I hope they give you some positive answers and, if the current treatment doesn't appear to be working, that they start you on another treatment ASAP.

Sorry I can't be of more help but do let us know how things go and you know we are here to support you.

Thanks carotene,
It's tough, I'm short of breath and I'm more and more restricted 😞

Hiya blanna
Think positive ..hang in there ..I'm sure there is another treatment when you see oncologist.
Sometimes we all wish we could wave a magic wand or produce a magic bullet to sort it all out but all I can do is send you loads of positive vibes and a huge amount of hugs .💜💜💜

Hi all,
I really feel like this cancer is spreading and I'm fighting a loosing battle, I need some positivity, I'm on weekly paciltaxel chemo with a week off every three. Last week was my week off, and I'm due to have my chemo this Friday. Wednesday I'm seeing the oncologist, my left shoulder is rock hard and painful, with my left side of my neck very hard and lumpy. The right side instead of one I can now feel three lumps, I'm in desperate need of some reassurance as I feel like I'm loosing this battle 😞 😞 Blanna 😞
