Sibling with Breast Cancer

My sister (the glue that holds our family together) has just been diagnosed with Breast cancer.

She had her biopsy and then CT then MRI and today attended her first appointment with the consultant at Oncology. 

she was told it is advanced, her CT was clear but her breast MRI had picked up some abnormalities on her Liver so now needs a full Liver MRI. 

The consultant said it shouldn't be anything to worry about because the CT scan was clear.

I just wanted to know if anyone else had this said to them and what was the outcome of the liver MRI  

I'm not gonna lie, I'm absolutely terrified that it could have spread but then why would the doctor say it's nothing to worry about.

It might be worth mentioning that my sister has insulin dependent diabetes, she has been diabetic for the last 30 years 2 injections a day  

If there is anyone out there who could talk good news or bad I would be extremely grateful, thank you x

 

 

  • I am sorry to hear about your sister. Truth be told, in cancer you simply can't know. Each case is different. Some start with the early stages but it comes back violently. Some go on to live a long life even after begin diagnosed with metastatic cancer. No one knows how things will develop. We have some statistic but that is all there is. 

    You need to find the positive attitude inside of you and take it one day at a time as we simply do not know. Living with ambiguity can be hard but it is something you can learn to live with. Take it one day at a time. Step by step. There is no point in  looking too far i the future because we can not see it.

    I lost my sister to breast cancer. Things didn't go well at all but it could be a completely different story. We don't have any influence really on how things turn out. So no point in trying to "control" what is t in our control. Now my husband is in treatment  for his cancer. I have really had my share of cancer in my life. ‍♀️

    I wish you all the best. May she respond to treatment beautifully and may it become a positive cancer story. It is possible for sure.
