I was diagnosed in July straight off with triple negative mestaised breast cancer - mine has gone to the liver
it was not big in the liver and it is nowhere else
I am considered stage 4 due to this and I was told incurable but treatable and possibly for years
I had 3 rounds of EC every 3 weeks then oncologist called me in not good news she said EC hadn't worked snd the cancer had grown especially in liver but still nowhere else . So she said I am to try PC combination and weekly and there is a 'reasonable chance' this will stop its growth and in some cases can reverse it
but then she said but you might want to prepare for the worst if it doesn't work plan . I could not believe this I understood that although not endless treatments that more than two would be possible
It has taken my hope my stength my positivity. I know I cannot be cured I am 55 and have two children in their early 20's I have an elderly mom who relies on me
has anyone else experienced this where you receive hope In one hand 'reasonable chance and treatable' then prepare for worst
surely there are more options it's left me not wanting to face the new treatment
I keep feeling overwhelmed and hopeless
