Hello everyone. I had my primary 20 years ago with mastectomy and lat flap and chemo which was awful. I couldn't take Tamoxifen or Arimidex and was put on Megace for 12 years. Long story short Megace kept undiagnosed migraines ay bay until I was seen by a neurologist who diagnosed the problem and changed my meds. Since then I've been a new person healthwise. Now this whammy. I have a scan on Friday and then seeing the oncologist the following Friday. I'm not in a good place right now - have known I have mets for just over a week and at first think for the first few days I was probably in shock and dealt with it well. Since then I've gone downhill physically and mentally. I have been diagnosed with sciatica and a hiatus hernia in recent years so hoping against hope that the pain and stomach problems which I'm having right now are really because of those coupled with anxiety but inevitably thinking the worst as well. Has anyone else felt like me? I just need a bit of positivity - right now I'm thinking I feel so ill and sick I'm not going to be able to even get to the scan on Friday. I've gone from a happy, mobile 68 year old to a feeble, sickly, quivering wreck in just over a week. My husband, family, and GP friends have all been amazing and my GP has prescribed sleeping tablets and antibiotics because I also have a UTI. I think the positivity on this site is wonderful so hoping someone can help. Wondering if anyone felt like me when they first found out. Any help appreciated. Thank you. X
