anyone else straight to secondary mets diagnosis?

Hi, feeling a bit lonely…just started treatment, and wondered if there’s anyone else in similar circumstances? HER2+, grade 3 inter ductal, liver Mets.  No surgery.

Sheila i am so sorry to hear your dx but i found myself in the same situation and i agree its a very lonely and scary place to be. 

 

I was dx early April with early stage 2 bc that had spread to the nodes and i have a lumpectomy and full node clearance the things went downhill.  Now regraded stage 3 with 18 nodes positive. Had a clear bone scan but did not get clear margins so was due a seond op.

 

Now told CT scan not clear and my consultant discussing it Monday at a multi disciplinary team meeting and they wont tell me any more until after that so i am terrified.

 

I know it has spread but dont know the details so thinking the worst.

Hi,Sheila,there are a few of us on here with a double whammy diagnose.

We tend to hang out on bone mets thread regardless of what mets we have.

We are a very friendly bunch,slightly mad,full of advice we support each other as we are all in that leaky boat together so we understand.
Huge hugs,Helen xxxx

Hi Sheila, I can’t remember the exact percentage of us diagnosed with mets at time of initial diagnosis but it’s higher than most would expect. I was stage 4 at diagnosis, bone mets, had spontaneous hip fracture when I was in my early 40’s. This was twelve years ago and I still have my primary, it’s very small, mostly scar tissue. It was very unusual then to have any surgery if stage 4. Take Care. X
