I am diagnosed Stage 4 Breast Cancer to lungs, liver and bones. In my letter from the hospital, it also says I have a pelvic mass. I have not been told what the pelvic mass is, only that it is 12cm. It must be cancerous but I have had no gynaecological symptoms.
I had only just accepted the spread to the liver and how serious it is. Now I feel like I've been handed a death sentace. I am triple positive (HER2+, ER+ and PR+). I am five weeks' into an eighteen week course of low dose Paxlitaxel plus receive Ttastuzumab and Pertuzemab every three weeks. I also get six weekly injections of Denosumab.
i feel like I can't survive so much cancer. My oncologist has not mentioned the pelvic mass. I mentioned my liver to her and how worried I was. She agreed with me that the liver tumours could be a threat to my life.
I don't think I can take anymore. I have another scan booked for June 29th to see if the Paxlitaxel is working or not and the same areas scanned for my diagnosis in March plus the Thorax are being scanned by CT. I suppose my consultant hasn't mentioned the pelvic mass because I'm Stage 4 and it's not curable so chemo is the only option? The only time I saw her was five weeks ago to sign the treatment forms. She only said if I had any pain my spine that I could have radiotherapy.
I feel finished.
