Hi there

I was diagnosed with breast cancer 11y ago and have just been found to have mets in ovaries. Of course I am devastated and need some support . I had invasive lobular cancer. I am wondering if I should go vegan? Any tips would be greatly appreciated

    HI Julie,

    I notice that nobody has replied to your post in the past couple of days. I am so sorry to hear about your mets. Can I ask what grade your cancer was originally?  I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years. Fortunately, both were primaries and occurred within a year of each other. Have you discussed treatment with your care team yet?

    I am sorry that I cannot tell you whether or not going vegan would make any difference. This sounds like a question for your care team, or our nurses here. Their telephone number is 0808 800 4040. They are here from 9.00am - 5.00pm, from Monday - Friday. I do hope that you manage to get an answer.

    Please keep in touch and let us know what you have planned and remember, that we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

    HI Jolamine 

    Thanks so much for your reply. I was diagnosed 11y ago with Grade ! lobular ca. had the mastectomy, chemo and radiation. recently I had abdominal pain- ended up having a CT scan which showed mass in ovaries. The radiologist thinks that these are secondaries from the original lobularcancer. I have both ovaries removed tomorrow and am just hoping for the best 

    I hope you keep well

    Hi Julie,

    I can only imagine how you are feeling tonight.

    I know when I had my second bout, I was terrified of secondaries, as I had lost my mum to secondary breast cancer. I believe that ovarian cancer can follow breast cancer.

    I shall be thinking of you on Monday and hope that all turns out as well as it can.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how it goes and remember that we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
