Hi Riversidedawn. So sorry that you had to join us on this forum but it really is the best place to be after your diagnosis. I had my diagnosis in July after a 10 week wait of scans and biopsy. I have a met in my pelvis. Those 10 weeks were horrendous. Not sure how I kept functioning. It was almost a relief to hear the words, 'you have a 2cm bone met in your pelvis'. I started reading the forum in May and found the ladies on here so reassuring and at times so funny it really helped me through a very dark, lonely time. Five months on I am on letrozle, denosumab injection monthly and about to strart palbociclib in the New Year. Life at the moment is carrying on as normal with just with a few more aches with the change from tamoxifen to letrozole and appointments. I was due to change anyway. I am perfectly aware that it could change any time but no longer feel that the end is nigh. Focus on Christmas as much as ppossible. I can go hours sometimes and forget about it. I had very a stormy meeting at work yesterday. Believe you me cancer did not enter my mind at all last night, Was planning a murder as I gluggged a large glass of wine.xx
