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.

Hello felts03, I started getting a lot of heart burn and chest pain that radiated to my back. Went to the dr's to be told it wasn't anything to worry about. My BC nurse said the same. I requested further test which showed my cancer had returned. Let me know how you get on. Good luck

Three years ago I was DX with inoperable secondary breast cancer. It had spread to my sternum, lymph node and in-between my 5/6 rib. Just come back from seeing the oncologist about my last CT scan results. No evidence of any new tumours and the others stable. To carry on with the letrozole. Even better news he has pushed my scans to every 6 months. Just wanted to share my Fantastic news for any body who has just been DX with secondary cancer. There is hope.

Hello, I come on here from time to time for a look or when something is bothering me. I was first DX in 2009 age 40 stage and grade one. It came back in 2016. Ultra sound, biopsy, CT scan, MRI and bone scan found out it had come back. A huge mass at the back of the sternum, one in my neck and in-between the 5th and 6th rib. Inoperable but treatable. Six months of chemo and the huge one at the back of the sternum and neck NED and the one inbetween my 5th and 6th rib has shrunk and stable. CT scans and blood every 3 months show all is stable and letrozole is doing it's job. I'm nearly 3 years on from secondary DX. Hope some of this is useful. Wishing you all the best.
