Secondary Breast cancer

I finished radiotherapy on Monday after a mammoplasty lumpectomy and full lymph node surgery - it was in 1 of the 18 nodes removed. I am in total shock as yesterday I was advised the breast cancer is o my lung and my back!

i had a Ct scan before Christmas because a indeterminate nodule was found on my lung at initial diagnosis.  The doctor had said it was most probably mucus - but obviously the cancer had spread before the initial diagnosis.

i have a full Ct scan booked on Tuesday but my fight has gone!  On Tuesday I thought I had reached the end with finishing radiotherapy and starting on hormone therapy but instead I have limited time left !

  • Hi my lovely, this is a valid feeling - this is my exact feelings when i was diagnosed back 2021 mets to lungs and bones at the age of 33. Shocking as i was in the peak of married life, career and being a mum to my wonderful little girl. I am 35 now, still in palbociclib, letrozole, denosumab and zoladex. My cancer is stable everywhere except from the pesky new growth on my sacrum. Waiting for radiotherapy at the moment. There will be good day and bad days, and there will be extremely bad days, but know that you are not alone and we have each other. Sending love and light xxxx

  • I was too diagnosed back 2021 at the age if 33, mets to lungs and liver but as of now been NED since January last year and just on maintenance treatment. Always happy to chat and share experiences xx

  • Hi lovely, i am pleased your trearment is working so well and you have been NED since. My treat kept me stable for 19 cycles until i have a new growth in my sacrum. Still on palbo but will have radiotherapy in the area, fingers crossed they can get it. may I ask what treatment are you on? My receptors are ER +, PR -, Her2 -
