Hi Lee,

I am not sure there is a "secret" as everyone is so different and our cancers are unique to each of us I think - the nurses will know more about that.

But I believe there are many things we might be able to do to help ourselves stay as healthy as possible in order to receive appropriate medical treatment.

I am always happy to chat about the things that I feel have helped support me on my journey so far.

I do not share my web site publicly but you're welcome to contact me as a "friend" on here. People tend to look at my stuff and pick bits from it that suit them. I also point to the books that have helped encourage me towards hope and focus whilst living with my cancer.

As far as I am aware, treatments are improving all the time so I like to try to stay hopeful wherever I can, but that's sometimes fairly tricky!

Looking forward to chatting to you, and wishing you all the best

Hello Lee

I think mare's secret is likely to be her zest for life. How is life treating you anyway? I summoned up the energy to go out last night to enjoy live music and a few drinks with friends. Although Im pooped today its done me a lot of good. Thanks for the many tips youve passed on to me.I got a new pillow for side sleepers and it has made a good improvementt in sleep quality. I think because my spine is better aligned causing less numbness and pins and needles in my arm and less pain in my ribs. Wishing you a nice day ahead.

Im in your boat to, two and a half years post diagnosis,  stage 4 breast cancer wiith secondary bone cancer, in most of my spine, skull and pelvic  bones.  On triple therapy, and doing fine.  My only severe issue is my hip bone (top of femur/thigh bone is crumbling, and  repaiing that (hip replacement) is something I dont think Im up to. Its depressing that Im coping and doing pretty well with the cancer treatment, but the impact of the drugs has made my bones so weak a really painful hip can't  be fixed.

Hi Mare, I have stage 4 breast cancer with secondary bone cancer.  Id be interested in seeing your website if you're  happy to share your deets with me?

Hi Manda, I've send a friend request.

Hi Mare I have sent you a friend request.  Any tips would be greatly received.  Hi Ed glad the pillow helped , it has helped me too no longer have pain in my collarbones.  Good that you went out with friends it is a great pick me up.  I am going for a meal Tuesday night and lunch on Wednesday with my old work friends.  Manda what is triple therapy?  I am on Ribociclib, Exemastane and denosumab.  Sorry to hear about your hip bone.  Nice to hear from you Jolamine.  Hope everyone has a good day.
