  • Hey there, sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis.

    All I will say is that you should request a full body scan once the treatment is done. My mother in law went down the same route and rung the bell when chemo was finished but the cancer had spread to distant areas (lung, brain and adrenal gland) but at the end of her treatment for the breast cancer she only had a mammogram so didn’t know at the time that it had spread. It’s only when she went for a blood test then more scans that they then realised it had spread to 3 other places.

    I wish you all the best x
