I’m really not sure . I’m waiting for radiologists to give me a date. My oncologist said should know by end of this week and it will happen within a week. I was thinking needle biopsy. I have an extremely sensitive gagging reaction if anything goes near back of my throat so not sure what I’ll do if that’s what they decide. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear x thank you for your reply x

Thank you my book arrived today so I’m sure once I get through it I’ll have questions. Think I’m going to research, talk to my oncologist and use both the medical approach I’m on combined with the COC protocol. I have lots to gain and not much too lose x I will look at the blogs thanks

Just keep trying to stop maybe get help from your GP. I’ve vaped since my diagnosis six months ago and have recently reduced the nicotine level. Don’t beat yourself up about it, just keep trying. We all have so much to deal with. Hope your treatment went ok x

Thank you for your replies. I’ve found them very supportive. I’m meeting with the palliative care consultant soon to discuss further pain strategies. I suppose I’m struggling with not knowing why I’m in pain, the tumours have shrank, my livers not enlarged. My oncologist has said it could be due to toxins with the dramatic reduction of tumours in a short space of time. I hope so with all my heart.

Hi everyone, I was initially diagnosed in dec 2018 with primary breast cancer, two months later I was told they had discovered one very large tumour and over twenty small ones in my liver. I started chemotherapy Fec-T, following my fourth cycle I started having stitch like pain in my liver area. This gradually got worse and I started taking morphine tablets 70mg twice a day and oramorph as top up. Following my fifth cycle I was in hospital with an infection for a fortnight . The decision was taken to stop chemo and continue with targeted therapy every three weeks. I have trastruzumab and pertuzumab. My first scan results were amazing 16 small tumours had vanished and my 55mm tumour has shrunk to 22mm. The scan showed my liver was not enlarged. Unfortunately the pain in my liver area continues, my oncologist doesn’t know why. Has anybody experienced anything like this, it’s a stitch like feeling, but worse. i also seem to be having terrible side effects from my treatment, flu like symptoms and pain so bad in the sacrum area of my back I can’t bend. Its been an overwhelming six months and any information on peoples experiences with liver mets would help x
