Dear Cheryl, Kris and Clazza,

I am glad that you have all shared with us your good news and I sincerely hope that this continues for all of you. As someone who has had 2 bouts of primary breast cancer in the past 10 years, the possibility of developing secondary cancer is always on my mind. My mum had primary breast cancer for 12 years, before she developed secondary breast cancer in her brain, bones, liver and lungs.

That was 21 years ago and, there was nothing that they could do for her. Fortunately, diagnosis, treatment and after-care have all improved by leaps and bounds since then and, I sincerely hope that you all continue to keep well.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine, thank you so much for your kind message, wishing you good health too. Claire (clazza).

Hi I'm Bev, also new to group I'm so uplifted by everyone's stories , I was diagnosed with triple neg breast cancer in December 2020 had a Mastectomy then February found out it was secondary spread to my lung I had part of my lung removed in March just as we lockdown started I was so lucky , I've had lots of scans PET and CT scans all have come back clear , as you all probably feel the same with each new clear scan you feel more and more positive even though you know there is no cure , I'm positive and starting back to work on Monday , good luck to you all xxxx

Hi Bev

So great to hear your doing so well, it's a tough battle I know but I'm doing good now considering I was diagnosed over 5 years ago with secondary breast cancer. Keep up the fight even through those darker days  stay in touch and let me know how you get on, all the best, claire

Hi Clazza, so uplifting to hear a little of your experience, that's what I'm hoping for clear scans I'm so happy for you, my next PET scan is in two weeks I'm feeling well and happy that I started back to work Monday just a couple of days a week but I've enjoyed it, take care x

OMG- that is truly amazing.

I was talking to someone the other day, who said some cancers are becoming more and more like chronic diseases, which you check ever so often, to see if they are behaving themselves. Obviously , not for everyone, but great that your cells are behaving themselves.
