Hey Staypositive 

im leanne and was diagnosed secondary breast cancer back in November with mets to spine rib and pelvis! My primary diagnosis was back in April!!  

it’s defo a shock for u and I know exactly how u feel as I was going through chemo when I discovered I had this! Very bitter sweet to get to 7 out of 7 chemo and told this!!!

u don’t have limited time none of us know how much time but you can’t give up your fight!!! We are strong women  and are bosses of our journey!! Keep the head up and keep busy!! Obviously it’s difficult and there are days that it gets on too but the minute the head is down then it’s won!! It’s not easy but we can’t let this ugly disease take over our life!! 

always hear if you need a chat xx

Hi Leanne,

I am so sorry to hear that you are in this position too. This news must have come as a real kick in the teeth, when you had got to 7 of your 7 chemo. I completely agree that we cannot let cancer take over our lives. We've got to fight it with all that we've got. I sincerely hope that you continue to fight it for many years to come.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you Leanne for your encouragement/ positivity.  My initial scan was rearranged so the not knowing is currently not helping and my back has definitely got worse since being told 2 weeks ago.  I assume if my spine scan is particularly bad they will telephone.  Have a consultation next Wednesday.

Has starting medication for your mets helped?

Good luck with your fight against cancer - you deserve to keep winning.

Hello sorry for late reply! Didn’t notice the reply

So after I was told about the met to the rib I constantly thought that the pain was intesifying but when I was busy I did not feel the pain only when not doing anything which I now know was psychosomatic pain or probably just anxiety!! 

the not knowing is awful and waiting is just not needed!! 

im on phesgo jag but not had this since beginning of December as my heart function has reduced due to this medication lol so Got a 6 week break and due back on 14th feb (how romantic); my treatment is phesgo and tamoxifen! I’m also taking a lot of supplements and back at gym so keeping busy is helping! I’m very fortunate I don’t have any new back pain! The back pain I have has been the same for years (basically since my epidural) - I sometimes wish they didn’t find mine so quick and that I at least had some time to be “cancer free” or believe I was but I didn’t and everything happens for a reason 

keep positive, keep busy, keep being you and never give up!! Like I say if you need to chat always here xx

Hey Jolamine

i will not let it take over!  I completely refuse to allow this!! I’m a stubborn person and this will not get to me!  Even applied for a job and have an interview so fingers crossed I get it!! Need good news this year 

Xx

Hi Leanne,

Hold on to that spirit! I hope that you get the job that you applied for, and that things start to turn a corner for you.

 It sounds as if you're due some good news.

We're always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
