Good Evening,
My wife was diaginised with Satge 4 Breast Cancer at the beginning of June 2021. She had no previous diagonsis of breast cancer, straigh to stage 4.
He cancer has spread to her bones, mainly spine and back and possibly her liver. She finished chemotherapy eventually at the beginning of March 2022. We had the post treatment scans 1st week in April and saw the consultant 16th April, her cancer is described as stable, next appointment in 3 months.
At present she is reciving Herceptin every 3 weeks and bone strenghening drugs.
Since the appointment on April 16, I feel her condition has deteriated, she is beoming less mobile, not being able to walk as well, sleeping more during the day. memory deteriation and sometimes looks out of it. Last couple of days she as stuggled to get out of bed un aided and she feels the pain is now in her neck.
I have had a visit by the GP, who has taken bloods and water to test for infections etc, both negative. District nurse has been to see her.
I have no idea what to expect or what is likely to happen next, it is not something my wife want to ask when we go to the hospital, she doesn't want to know a prognosis.
I was wondering if anyone coould advise of their experiences of this type of cacncer i.e. how quickly can the desease start to spread after chemo and what are the warning signs I should look out for?
Thank you in advance.
