Hi, I’ve been living with SBC for 6 years. I started with 3 monthly Ct scans, then once the tumour was stable went on to 6 monthly scans.

Hi all, after a long wait I finally received my PET scan results. Not best of news and not the worst. There is another tumour in my 3rd rib. I’ve had secondary in my 5th rib over the past 6 years. Oncologist think high dose of radiotherapy will do the job. I had radiotherapy 12 years ago but feel it’s changed a lot since then. I’ve sailed through radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the past. I’m hoping I can do it again. Any advice or tips. Thank you.

Hi all, the oncologist phoned today and said something small was showing on my 3rd rib. It might or not cancer. He wants me to have a pet scan. I’ve never had one of these. How long do these take and what happens? Thank you x

Thanks all. Radiography phoned today. Oncologist has requested another Ct scan. I’m a bit puzzled why he can’t just look at the last Ct scan himself. So more waiting.

Hi all, had my latest scan results today. The past six years I’ve had SBC in my 5th&6th rib. Oncologist phoned today to say the Ct scan report had mentioned 3rd&6th rib but no mention in the 5th rib. Oncologist thinks it’s a typing error on the report. He said it has to go back to MDT meeting and will have to wait a week on Monday for him to call me back because of the bank holiday. All organs and bloods are fine. Anyone else had anything like a typing error. Thanks for any advice or stories x

Hello b, Not at all. I think asking questions help one another along this journey. After my biopsys I went down the usual route. Ultrasound scan, MRI, bone and bloods. It was discovered that I had a huge mass behind my sternum, in-between my 5/6 rib and in my lymph node in my neck. I started on 6 months chemotherapy. Within a few months things had started to shrink. Buy the time I'd finished chemo the mass and the one in my next had gone. I still have one between my 5/6 th rib and that's been stable since. On the 12th of may I've been 4years stable. I'm on letrozole and tolerate side effects, although since DX have other health issues. Hope this helps. Take care. From Gaynor x

Hello all, Received my letter from my GP. It was later than expected. My daughter is a staff nurse at Oldham A&E she did my bloods at home yesterday day ready for my next scan. No date for the scan yet but I'm I right thinking it will be cancelled? I normally attend the Victoria suite at Oldham royal for my scan results. Keep safe all.

Hi all, Life is stressful enough being in this group but a group that brings us together at difficult times right now. I'm looking for advice and information really. I've got inoperable cancer and on oral chemotherapy. Was sent home from my teaching job on Wednesday because of being high risk. I'm I at that high risk category and Will receive a letter. Stressful times. Thanks to anyone that can help. Stay safe all.

I always love positive stories like these. It certainly gives me a lift know that metastatic breast cancer is no longer a death sentence, that people are living many years and more treatment is coming out all the time. Thank you for you post. It's much appreciated.
