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 !  

  • Thank you very much, fingers crossed it will get rid of it as i am not ready to change treatment yet and scared what will be the outcome. I heard amazing things about phesgo, its a wonder drug for many. I have zoladex too not my favourite but having it every 3 months now still a pain that one lol. Xx

  • I do agree about phesgo if definable is a wonder drug. Every 3 months is good I have asked my oncologist if I can have it every 3 months but she said it's better to have it 4weekly so I just do what she says. Sorry for sounding daft but is palbo an iv drug or in a tablet form? Xx

  • Not daft lovely, Palbo is in tablet form. Doable drug, some people lasted for more than 4 years without their cancer progressing. Thank you for this info regarding zoladex, did your oncologist said why is it better 4 weekly? After switching to 3 months i felt like i am gaining so much weight particularly in the abdomen area. X

  • Ahh OK lol sorry I only know about my regime xx I think she meant that about zoladex cuz my type of cancer is quite aggressive but responds very well to certain theraphy. In regards of weight putting I have noticed that I can't lose any due to hormonal treatment even tho I do intermittent fasting my weight seems to be dropping when i keep to it but my belly seems no different tbh but again I don't ever seem to be keeping to it for longer that a month lol xx

  • Sending prayers and positive thoughts to you x
