Welcome to Cancer Chat. I am so sorry to hear about your latest diagnosis. How long have you had cancer for and what treatment have you had? If you use the search engine on the left hand side of the blue band at the top of this page, you will find previous posts about secondary breast cancer.
Have you got a date to return to discuss treatment options yet? I lost my Mum to metastases from breast cancer several years ago, then I was diagnosed 7 years ago. I had 2 bouts of primary breadt cancer, the second was the year after my first.
Please keep in touch . There is always someone here whenever you feel like talking.
Hi Jolamine. Sorry to hear 2bouts sounds bad. How are u doing now. I've an app on the 6th Sep and another on 18 th to check if I have skin cancer just on hair line I'm 70 soon had my life upsetting to see young people with young kids on here X
I'm doing ok. I was terrified when I discovered the second lump, in case it was a secondary, so I have some idea how you must feel at the moment. Still, I count myself very fortunate that it was a second primary.
I'm now waiting for an appointment to check for secondaries again. No appointment has come through so far, but I am keeping my fingers crossed.You are about the same age as me, but we've still got a lot of damage to do here before we move on.
I am glad to hear that you have made those two appointments for September and I hope that they both go well. Yes it is really upsetting to see young children dealing with cancer and doing so well with it. They really are wee troupers all of them. It is also upsetting to see so many young mums battling to stay here longer for the sakes of their young families.
