Sorry to hear your story - it's kinda similar to mine.  I had Breast Cancer in 2006 with no lymph nodes affected.  I did the lumpectomy, chemo and radiotherapy and then did 5 years on Tamoxifen followed by 3 years on Letrozole.  Just as I was expecting to finish all medication for good, I took ill at Christmas and in February this year, I was diagnosed with secondary Breast Cancer in my pleural wall around my lungs, in my liver and I have 2 tiny spots of cancer in my ribs.  Needless to say I was gutted that after all this time cancer free, here we go again!  I have just had 3 FEC chemos and on Friday, I'm getting my mid way scan.  Fingers crossed - the chemo is kicking that cancer's backside!  I identify with all you say and I hate hearing that my cancer is incurable and this keep being repeated.  I want to live and stay strong and with a positive outlook coupled with the advances in research, I want to be alive for many many years to come.  It's not the same journey second time around - I do feel more vulnerable but I am coping very well.  I had oestrogen positive breast cancer first time around and I've been told that it can just lie dormant and come back again in some people for some unknown reason.  I do think knowledge is power though and I wish I had been more informed about where it could come back and what symptoms to look out for.  I wish you well with your treatment - it's helpful to know there is someone out there feeling as I do.
