Hi. My name is Julie and I have just signed up to this forum. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago. I had a lumpectomy 26 sessions of radiotherapy. Was also prescribed letrozole to be taken daily for 5 years...A few weeks ago I began having pains in my lower back and spreading to my hips. I ignored it for a week, just thinking it was muscular related, as I had suffered a slipped disc 15 years ago...A couple of weeks ago I still had the pains, also bad cramps in my legs while I was in bed trying go sleep. I finally got through to my G.P and explained the symptoms to him, he arranged for me to have an xray on my spine...He said because you have had breast cancer. I had the xray yesterday, since then I have been depressed, anxious and worrying. I have also been reading on line about secondary breast cancer symptoms and metastasis. I am very scared awaiting for the results, but deep down I know its not good news. I cannot concentrate on anything...Is there anyone else out there going through the same as myself. I would love to hear from you if so.....
