metatastic breast cancer with liver metts

I have been diagnosed with metatastic breast cancer with liver metts .Iam a 52 year old mum with 6 grown up children ,and 2 young  Grand daughters.I am currently taking Letrozole , Palbociclib,and Zoladex injections once a month .I have been told it isnt curable, but is managable on the medication,so say for a few years .Has anyone out there got a similar diagnosis to me ,as the diagnosis is very hard to come to terms with,not knowing .I have to wait to the end of July for the CT scan to see if the medication is working,and to make sure it hasnt spread .A very worrying time for me .If anyone going through this can give me any advice about it .eg How they are coping ,feeling etc any feedback would be helpful.Cocksedge.

  • Hi yes these are crazy times so nice to hear from you Im fine my cancer is all stable,from my last scan I had a course of radiotherapy to help reduce the tumor in my breast as it was so painful,it was 2 weeks today ,and its beginning to work ,and the tumor is defintely shrinking I didnt want to have the radiotherapy ,but they said it would defintely help.It made me feel so  lethargic,and no energy to do anything Its slowly lifting now thankgoodness >Dont think i would opt to have it again ,although its better than chemo,They did tell me one of the lympth nodes under my arm had grown ,but they were not concerned about it,so not really an issue .Im so glad you got your retirement on health grounds .Im still waiting for mine its a long process .I expect it will be mopre to the back end of the year if it goes ahead .Ive had nothing but problems .Glad all is well with you I cant wait till all this is over i so miss seeing and having our Granddaughter.You must too ,But i know its for the best My daughter is supposed to get married on the 4Th of July .It hasnt been cancelled yet ,so we shall just have to wait and see .,and my sons girlfriend has her baby in a couple of weeks,so i wont even get a cuddle or probably see him till hes a few months old Im glad mark is coping ok My mark is also coping ok its quite a coincidence that your other half is mark too My freind Denise her husband is also called mark ,and she also has breast cancer,must be something ,so nice to hear from you Take care ,and stay safe .Lots of love Heidixxx
