Hi 10 years to the month since my first bcs diagnosis I went to a new GP for a minor unrelated issue and after running bloods tests then scans scans the Dr found 2 liaisons on the liver and 7 specs in spine and ribs. Waiting for liver biopsy then back to the oncologist next week. Very grateful to read that some of you are having such success. I really needed that hope today.3

So sorry to hear this news @MeganM. Welcome to the forum. While no one wants to be here, it can be a great support, source of information and even provide some laughs. As you have read many go well on the drugs that are available these days. Hang in there. Big hug, K xox2

@Patti J @Sam09 @Pamelamary thank you for posts of HOPE. I have been living under a dark cloud since my diagnosis. This week is my last week of 'normality' so I try to make the most of it. Next week I have my heart scan and port inserted and I start my active treatment the following week.
@Sam09 I have been looking into complimentary therapies but far to much conflicting research. You are spot on. Organic food, lots filtered of water and exercise is what is needed.2 -
Hi @LorraineB,
Just thought I would pop in and say hi and welcome to our little corner of the breast cancer world, like you I have mets to liver and my spine, it was diagnosed 5 years ago as a first off diagnosis, so here I am 5 years on, still on chemo, although its a tablet form,living life as best as I can, enjoying every day and doing what my body tells me, once you have atreatment plan you will feel more in control.I do hope you have a network of support, this is the time to take that help when offered,we are all here for you, we get it, we care, so this is the place to come to if you are sad, mad or glad!!! we all have different coping mechanisms, so just ask away if you have any questions, take care, be gentle on yourself and look after those two beautiful boys of yours do keep in touch
big hug to you,

@wendy55 thank you. I wonderful to hear you doing well after 5 years. I had written myself when I found out. Finding it hard to stay positive at the moment. I need to remind myself I am living with cancer not dying from it. Thank you for your post it helps so much hearing stories like yours.6

Hi @LorraineB I have liver mets too. These were diagnosed in December 2014, after 2 years cancer free. I'm still active and living a fairly normal life, on hormone pills, then palbociclib for 2 years. I've only started on chemo treatments about 3 months ago, beginning with an oral one and the side effects are relatively minor so far (no hair loss) I was first diagnosed with 'early breast cancer' in December 2011, so I feel very pleased with my progress.
I expect to be around quite awhile longer, because they have so many different treatments nowadays.
I don't mean to say your experience with treatments will be similar to mine - as they keep telling me, and you, everyone is different. I'm wishing you all the best for many many years to come x4 -
Hi everyone went and had a blood test today and then on Monday I see my oncologist to see what is going on

Hi @LorraineB
I have metastatic bc on the liver. It has been just over a year now since my diagnosis. I am 46 and have children so it has been tea tough.I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. There are definitely lows and some highs. Just don’t get ahead of yourself, don’t let your imagination get the better of you. I am feeling as well as can be expected. They have stopped mine spreading. My Mets ate very extensive but they are not spreading. There is so much hope. You need have some good support around you but you can create a new version of yourself and enjoy every day.
Thinking of you.4 -
Thank you @Tilly45 I am trying to take each day as it comes and try not think to hard about the future. I have been getting my finances in order but apart from that I am trying to go about my normal business. I start chemo on 24 Oct and this I know will bring reality to a head and I can no longer live in denial.
