    Hi HB ......   Are you the same hellsbells that used to post on the forum before the changes?

    I am so sorry to hear of your recent news - its an awful shock to get BC second time around, particularly in a different area cos we never really know what we are dealing with.  I was told that mine had mestastised to my liver in 2012 after 6yrs cancer-free.  Be assured there are so many new procedures and drugs being discovered all the while and you will have several years ahead of you.  Its good news that you are responding so well to this chemo and there are many other regimes to go on to if you stop responding. I am now approaching my 4th year of chemo and doing okay!

    I wont be naive enough to say 'dont worry' because I know what a nightmare situation this is.  All I can do is offer you my support. I am a few years further down the road from you, so if there is anything I have been through or drugs I have taken that I tell you about, please free to ask and I will do my best to help.  Keep in touch and take good care x

    Nice of you to reply, im still waiting for results on whst type of bc it is my other c back in 2011 was hormone but the tamoxifen didnt work for me in the end as it came back, i feel the hospital are keeping me waiting which i know its not all about me as there are so many other people in the same boat but i have one more chemo then im not sure either herceptin or another tablet, but i  very wary on taking a tablet because of before, im pleased you are now in your 4th yr but not happy for you in chemo but you know what i mean, thanks for your reply it does help in a funny sort of way that there is other people going through the same tough times, i am scared of passing away and i dont want to but they have told me there is alot of treatments available but i cant get my head around them saying we cant cure you

    Thanks again for your reply i wish you well in the future
