Metastatic breast cancer

Hi i was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer a week ago and still in turmoil i am 55 and never thought this would happen to me. I am staying positive for myself and family so was told it is not curable just can be managed one minute i am ok the next a cloud of grief overcomes me....so treatment plan is taking letrozole i started it a few days ago fingers crossed my tumour shrinks as 5 cm size and also in my Lymph nodes and collarbone.

Much love to all the others out there getting through a cancer disgnosis xx 

  • Thank you some wise words there I need to listen to. Best wishes on your journey too. I really appreciate your replying quickly. So you continually take medications?

  • Hi, yes I take letrazole,  abermaciclib daily and have monthly calcium injection, apart from the abermaciclib causing nausea at times for most part I feel great, I do have the odd wobble on days but I just try to take it easy it soon passes, my tumour markers are good so I try just to get on with living with it.  It's amazing how your mind and body starts to cope, also I think this time of year is worse because you can't get out and about so much but in a few weeks time with the sun shining again you will get a massive boost to mind and body.  I wish you well on meds and hope your plan serves you as well as mine seems to be doing. Hope you do manage to get away somewhere nice it does wonders for you wellbeing xx
