Good morning Lisa how are you feeling today? im just starting my 7 month of treatment and tbh, so far, it’s not been to bad. If you need to chat or rant or just ask a question, don’t hesitate. There is no wrong question, feeling, emotion etc Just having someone to talk to who really understands where you are on your journey is the best medicine ever. You are never alone sending hugs micky     ... View more

Hi Bernie Its great news that your treatment is going well. Im not sure how mine  is doing as they dont really tell me much on my monthly oncology call. I will endeavour to change that when they call me on the 28th.  I know one of my liver tests is high but as its only one they are not that worried.  I am here whenever you want to chat or rant and that goes for anybody on here.  Take care.    Micky ...

Thanks Bernie for replying. just sat at work feeling as sick as a dog reading your reply. Its nice to speak to someone else who is going through the same thing as myself. I asked about counselling several months ago but am still waiting to hear anything about it. I know these things can take some time.  Just reading the replies on here has made me feel less alone.  Your right about the shock of the diagnosis.  I was diagnosed in april and tbh it was a whirlwind from then on. It certainly took me a while to process it all. Then to be told in june that it had gone into my bones and the only thing they could do was to make me as comfortable as possible. Ive got up to 5 years, so am trying to make the best of it all, but there are days like today, when you are feeling awful that being positive is a challenge!! I try to keep myself busy but constantly feeling fatigued is not helping.            ... View more

Hi everyone. I’m new to this forum and decided to sign up when I saw your comments about palbocyclib and letrozole. I to am on these drugs. actually I’m just about to start my 7 month. I have no one to talk to about how I’m feeling emotionally, mentally or physically. I don’t want to bother the professionals as they all seem so busy. Can I hear about other peoples experoences, so I don’t feel like I’m battling this horrible disease by myself. I’m feeling very isolated and alone atm. many thanks ... View more
