Hi Every One
My name is Denise I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer December 2015 & had a lumpectomy & all lymph nodes removed from under my right arm pit then under went radio therapy. I was not able to have chemo as I also have PBC ( curosis of the liver apparently this mainly affects women) & in the 4th stage. Then in March this year I went for a check up as I kept getting infections in my affected breast my collar bone was slightly tender so had ct & bone scan done & they found black dots on the base of my spine & in 2 places on my right hip.
I was asked to go & see them that week & they told me I had a fractured rib & secondary breast cancer, then had an appointment with oncologist she said there was no cure but could be treated. So now I have monthly treatment 3 monthly ct scans & 3 monthly visits with the oncologist I asked if I would have to have this the rest of my life she said yes. I am struggling at the moment to have the Same attitude that I had with my first diagnosis but I'm sure I will get there.
