    Dear @Me2 HUG. HUG. HUG HUG. I wish there was something I could say or suggest that would make you feel better. I can tell you that my mother-in-law was told 4 months and she lasted 11 months and was really good right up until the end. What a devastating blow. I know you are hurting and crushed at the moment, but if at all possible I hope they find some relief for you arm and you have lots of moments of sunshine, joy, laughter, giggles, love and kooky fun with those special people all around you. Thinking of you.

    Sorry to hear @Me2 but hey doctors don't know everything. They don't know why one person only gets 6 mths yet another can stretch it out in years. Let's hope you are one of the ones who astounds them and sees a few more Christmasses. The radiation treatment should help that nerve pain so thats a good thing. Chemo is kind of an unknown. Dad tried a few but none of them worked so now he just has his cannabis oil and pain killers and he is still coasting along ok. Look after yourself and try to avoid anyone with flu's and colds as you really don't want to waste time with the sniffles. Cyber hugz <3

    @Me2, I'm also so very sad to read this. My heart breaks for you! As others have said, try to fill each day with special moments, take time to things you have always wanted to do, and surround yourself with those that love you! I truly believe that while there is life, the te e is hope...and believe me, we are all hoping and praying for you! Big hugs xx

    What devastating news for you and your family. I don't know how they can even give you a time line but I guess they think they have to guess.

    My father had terminal lung cancer at time of diagnosis. He was given weeks. With palliative radiotherapy only he lived 12 months. So I'm hoping for you that you will respond to treatment like he did. 

    Have they offered clinical trial options? Just wondering if that option is available to you too.
    Know we are thinking of you. X

    Thank you Primex, they have said i may be eligable for a trial. I am triple negative with no braca gene. They wanted triple neg with 1or2 braca. I have been told i may be considered. Immunotherapy. However cost is $60,000. We’ve had to sell our house already because of my disease, i cant raise that kind of money. I have peace of mind knowing my husband is now debt free, for the first time jn our lives so the last thing im going to do is to give him more. Its really very sad. As im sure everyones story is. As everyone keeps saying to me, “done give up” and that i surely wont. Life too precious. ❤️

    Sometimes they consider costs  under special circumstances. It might be worth asking. X
