Hi Sarah sorry to hear you have been dx with secondaries to your liver.It is very difficult at the start to cope with the news but you learn to live with it I have found.I had primary grade 1 stage 1.only had lumpectomy,radiotherapy and tamoxifen.excellent prognosis they said. 3 and a half years later i was dx with extensive liver tumours and told prognosis of 2-3 years. I had fec chemo and been on letrozole ever since.It is working very well for me.Blood tumour markers were nearly 3,000 during chemo. now only 21 so oncologists very happy with how treatment is working.It is over 2 years since my prognosis and I still work full time and carry on mainly as normal.letrozole gives me bad leg and feet aches and pains but nothing I can’t cope with.I also have 1 bone met dx last year but that has shrunk so not visible on scan any more. I have a denosumab injection every28 days for that.I certainly don’t feel like I might only live another year.I was well when I went into the secondary dx so I think that has helped me to cope with the treatments too. a prognosis is only based on an average figure which I imagine includes people a lot older and sicker who have less chance of surviving a long time. I intend to be here for a while yet,in fact I recently booked to go on a cruise in September 2019!!When I was first dx I wouldn’t plan anything a month ahead so it shows how over time you learn to cope with the difficult situation you now find yourself in. with very best wishes to you during your treatment,Didix
