Hi Mejules , I also have been diagnosed with bc in my bone marrow as well as my spine, hips, skull, femur, shoulders,ribs etc. pretty much my whole skeleton. The drs said that I must have been walking around with it all for years. I was diagnosed 8 years after primary, but had been going to my GP for over a year complaining about pains. That was 21/2 years ago now and I'm not too bad. Some of the initial treatments, Taxol and hormone therapy didn't work for me but we are all different. I'm now on capecetebaine which is chemo in tablet form as the cancer starting spreading into the lymph glands in my chest, which so far us working. I did take a break from formal treatment for a few months and reduced my cancer by about 60% but then it came back with a vengeance. I've been lucky with side effects on all treatments and can live a relatively normal life. It is scary first of all but I decided to be really active in my cancer treatment decisions and explored various things that I could alongside conventional treatment. So I would say, so far so good. I figured if I could walk around for years with this undiscovered secondary cancer I could definitely live as healthily as possible for a few more years doing something about it!!! Read Chris Woollams book, " Everything you need to know to help you beat cancer". One of the first books that I read was "Radical Remission" by Kelly Turner, that made me think well if these people can survive terminal cancer so can I!!
