Hello All, I really pray my post brings hope to those that need to hear something positive and uplifiting. Dx 2011 with both primary and secondary, multiple mets to both lungs (apparently I lit up like a xmas tree on the scans too many to count) and in 2014 a couple of spots spread to liver. Have done the usual chemo, mastectomy, rads then Tamoxifen, presently on Anastrozole (Armidex) and continued Herceptin which I've been on for the past 6 years. I've also taken a load of supplements, been clean and green ie: juicing and tried a variety of holistic treatments including spiritual healing. I beleive in throwing everything you've got at this thing including both conventional and alternative or complimentary. Last Friday I went in for the results of my latest CT scan, the last one I actually had with dye contrast (they managed to get a needle in) so I was secretly dreading the outcome (you can see more with the contrast) basically I've got the all clear! Yep its happened I've got the all clear, the cancer on both lungs and liver has disappeared or as the Onc's Reg explained its so tiny we can't detect it on the CT scan. This is the best news ever........I am such a lucky, lucky, lucky girl. I knew about the lungs from the start but only found out by accident about the liver when I read a scan report that mentioned lesions on my liver!!! So for them to declare no sign of disease in both lungs and liver is mind blowing. Whilst walking on air out of the oncology department I waited outside for the other half to pick me up, another lady was waiting and we got chatting, she told me about her Dx in her 40's (like me) over 20 years ago!!! with breast cancer, and that it had only just decided to show itself again and now she has all these new options and drugs to try out, she told me to stay positive and live my life, she was a breath of fresh air. I hope my story inspires and brings hope to anyone that needs it. Its incredibly hard especially in the beginning when your first Dx to get to grips with whats happening to you. Letting it all out, the frustration, anger, fear its the best way forward and in time this subsides and is replaced with a new unique perspective, this is when you have to go for it, do whatever it is that you believe in and above all else live for the moment. Sending you all lots of love and light xxxxxxx
