New to group
Hi all, I am new to these online groups and didnt know they existed.
I was first diagnosed with Inflammatory breast cancer in 2009 at age 27, i was then diagnosed again in 2015 with breast cancer in the right breast and found out in 2016 it had spread to my hip area when i started experiencing some pain in my leg, pelvis and hip area. I started Chemo treatment xeloda and it seemed to work for a bit but this year in february it started to flare up in different parts of my bones. I am now on Abraxane and i am doing that every week for 3 weeks and having a break on the 4th week. I am not sure how i am meant to feel but i am ANGRY and SAD that this has happened, I have an AMAZING husband who has stuck by my side and goes to every appointment with me and to be honest if it was not for him pushing me im not sure how long i would have lasted with all the treatments. Is there anyone out there who has had there cancer spread to there bones and is there any advice you can give me? How long have people been on Abraxane for? I have lost all my hair ( which is fine)but i feel when i go to receive treatment i am one of the younger people there and it is upsetting. I have read sooooo many articles about metastatic patients not living long lives and i am hoping there are many people out there who are living with this terrible sickness beyond the statistic years and have some what of a normal life.....Whatever normal is.
