Hi Sinead

Sorry to hear about your Mum-mine was diagnosed with breast in 2012, but straight after being given the all clear from that she was told about the spine.The neck/shoulder/liver are fairly new, although they are getting concerned it may have spread to her brain.  She is getting an injection once a month and intravenous radiotherapy once a month, and a blood transfusion when necessary.  What doe your mum get?

Hey ESM my mum gets zoladex(cant spell it) injection once a month to stop the oestrogen from feeding the cancer &it spreading any further but at her next onocologist aptment they are going to take her off it as she been on it to long.she not on any other treatment just tabs&pain relief throughoout day.they dabated doing bone graph to help her chunk of bone that is wore away in her foot.but it would be too much of an op&to pin it not option as bone in foot too wk.but we just hada wait and see what next aptment tells us as bowel&throat new concerns for us.but if she likes it or not i land in on her 4/5 times a wk&depending what form she is in dependa how long id stay.just takig it one say at a time&enjoying every moment we have!your mum maybe trying to accept what she has found out&needs the time to digest it all as my mum used to be like that.she went to aptments said all fine then wks later telling us wee bits.so now i go to her o all aptments to see whats goung on&letting her lnow il be on this journey with her!x
