Hi im shelly30

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 22 I delt with it pretty well had really strong chemo and had to inject my self for five days this was for 6 weeks then a different chemo every week for 10 weeks I lost all my hair I found that difficult to deal with,,  in November I had a full mastectomy on my left breast and 3 weeks of radiotherapy ,got my other breast removed in April this year everything seemed to be going well I noticed I was getting extremely tired more than I normally was and my back and leg started to play up so went back to GP got referred to physio they wanted a mri on my spine they found a nodule on lower spine  so then a ct scan followed  by a bone scan followed by a bone biopsy  followed by the breast cancer has spread to my pelvis and my spine ,today is a bad day as I have been in so much pain with my back  can't sit for to long ,stand or lie down morphine is really not helping
