Possible bone mets.. Confused!!!

Hi my name is Chloe and new member to this site which was recommended to me by the Macmillan nurses. I was diagnosed with breast cancer grade 2 & ER+. A lumpectomy was carried out to remove the tumour along with a margin of breast tissue to check there was no cancer cells also had centinal nodes removed which 3/5 was positive of cancer cells.. I had a series of different scans as changes were picked up in my back, osteoarthritis was suspected but they had to follow it up with an MRI scan to rule out anything sinister. I have had 2 sessions of FECT chemo, when I saw my oncologist Wednesday he told me that it looks very likely to be secondary bone cancer.,I just sat and sobbed when I got home. Is there anyone who has or is going through treatments for secondary breast cancer (bone metastasis). At my wits end at the minute and could really do with some moral support from ladies unfortunately going through this awful journey them selfs.

    my mum was diagnosed in January with bone mets after being breast cancer free for 9 years and we had never heard of this or knew anything about it. Mum is only 48 so this came as a big shock. I'm no expert we are learning everyday. Mums mets are in her hips ribs spine pelvis and skull but the treatment she is on at the moment seems to be keeping her stable. If you have any questions or need somebody to talk to I'm here. Thinking of you during this horrific time. Xxxx
