Hi I'm Francesca 

9 weeks going to doctors not feeling great finally got a scan that showed up spots on my liver x had another scan that revealed a spread  of them from breast to liver to spine xx total shock. I was working 2 weeks ago and now I'm led in bed with back pain.. under gone a breast biopsy to see if that's the primary and waiting for results.. my head has gone into overdrive completely negative thoughts with no information,my doctor has just given me nerve tablets for my back but there not really any good.. all so fast a whirlwind of allsorts I'm not quite sure what's going on or why somebody can't look at my spine while waiting for results of biopsy ... so if anybody has read this ... thanks

    Hi toblerone 

    glad to hear all went well yesterday.

    thanks for advice think because I'm led up in bed with painful spine I'm just thinking to much and of course not the good things.3 weeks ago I was at work now struggling to control back pain  constantly in bed.

    have the they told you when you get results is it Friday ? Breast place rang me yesterday told me Friday to.so will it  be Friday or a letter Monday . 

    Trying to make today a better day 

    Take care hugs

    Hi Francesca,

    Thanks for thinking of me. I'm doing okay right now. It'll be a year since my dad was diagnosed tomorrow, so it's been sort of up and down with my emotions this week. Please keep me updated on what the doctors say about your situation. And if you ever need to vent or talk, please feel free to message me!

    Hi Francesca

    Hospital today with my fella and my daughter for support. They say this is the easy bit as we know the diagnosis so today is the battle plan..! In many ways that is true but I know how I handle surgery I have no idea what chemicals will do to me, how my body will cope. That said, I'd rather loose my hair than give in!

    What has changed for you over the 3 weeks? If you were at work why are you in pain now? Are nerves being pressed? Google can help, don't take it all as gospel, I know I'm not educated enough to make much sense of it, but it does help to give you an idea of what is going on and, personally, I find more knowledge a comfort. 

    I hope hope you hear soon and can move forward with pain relief and treatment. Treat yourself to whatever you like. I bought my niece a frivolous dress, her smile made my day. 

    Thinking of you x
