Sending you a big hug. Hang in there.

I absolutely get how sad you are over the situation and your very real fears of seeing your children grow up.
But...Remember that bone metastasis can be treated really well with radiotherapy and surgery. It is good the treatment has reduced the liver mets. I'm sure your team has ideas for your ongoing treatment. But we so get how you feel. It's okay and normal to have tears and fears. X
Do check in and let us know how you get on. Kath x

Oh dear, that is so frightening for you. I have little real advice, but the Otis break sounds like a good idea right now. I am sure that your medical team has a plan to tackle this. Hang in there, and hold your little ones close. Love and prayers.xx0

Hi @Sam09,
So very happy to read your post and that you have now got this covered,I know it was so hard at first, but you seem so much more in control which is amazing, just wanted to let you know that I had not forgotten you and to let you know that my 5 year anniversary, if you can call it that is coming up this month, 5 years!! I will still be here in 5 more years!!!
Hugs

Hi @angg66,
Sorry to hear your sad news,the ladies have pretty much covered everything, just wanted to let you know that I too have tumours in my liver and all through my spine, I understand, I get it!!, there is not a lot more that I can add, I hope you get some comfort from just knowing that you are not alone, we are here, we care and understand, on June 28th it will be 5 years since my diagnosis and I am still here, one day at a time,I am currently on Zeloda, a oral form of chemo, which has for me been successful, I have been on it for 2 years,my partner and I have just had a lovely 3 day break at a Otis Foundation retreat, a breath of fresh air, change of scenery, to recharge my batteries,please, be kind, be gentle on yourself and I hope that your family are taking very good care of you, you can DO this,listen to your body,and just breathe, sometimes thats all we need to do, I enjoy the smaller things in life now, stage 4 shows you whats important and whats not, yes its bloody hard and very unfair, to just be in the moment, is what I have had to learn, also to be a little bit selfish as well, do what makes YOU happy, trust in your medical team that they will find the right treatment just for you,in this next stage of your life,keep warm,would love very much to give you a hug and have a little cry with you, but distance prevents that, so please know that you are in my thoughts as we put one foot in front of the other and get through the days ahead,

Hi @ang66, Just sending you a big hug lovely and please don't think that you sound morbid because you don't. You do sound like you are going through a crappy very scary reality and we are all here to help you in any way that we can. If it's only being here as a sounding board so you can unload your fears, sadness, good and bad days and things that you don't think your family will cope with hearing, then go for it, at least it's one way we can help. So what treatment are they proposing for you now? Xx Cath

Hi all. Thank you for your kind words. I am feeling much better this weekend. My gorgeous little boy turned 8 & it was a weekend celebrating with family and friends. Life goes on!! I am starting a new chemo called Caelyx next Wednesday. Wish me luck. Let's hope this new treatment works on those pesky mets xxx7

All the luck in the world Ang. And happy birthday to your little boy! Eight is a wonderful age for a boy, they are so sweet. Kate xox0

Sorry to hear the treatments no longer stopping the cancer advance. First thing my dad did when he was presented with the same news is ask for an appointment with a psychologist who helped him put things in perspective.
Now he is looking forward to a shorter life but it is one with no darned chemo making him sick all the time. Enjoy and look after yourself.
