Mets to liver

Coco2010

Hi, first diagnosed with BC in 2012 (stage 3). Was on tamoxifen for just over 5 years until last Jan and then  I started to feel unwell, weight loss and I knew something wasn’t right... after tests it was confirmed that it returned and this time it had spread to my liver. It’s been 12 months and still working full time - good days and bad days.  I just wanted to share as I’ve never posted but I’ve read so many amazing stories from so many people on this forum that I wanted to start to share my experiences - good and bad.

That truly sucks @Coco2010 . More power to you for slogging it out and keeping up a full time job; that takes some serious determination even though you may not have much choice. Mxx

I'm so very sorry to read this @Coco2010 but it's good that you've posted as there are others here with mets who understand and others who are supportive.

@Coco2010 I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Thank you for sharing your story here. I think it's important to tell our stories, the good, the bad and the ugly. You're never alone here, and the more we share the more people we touch and hopefully help. And fewer feel alone. I hope it helps you to write it down as well. Big hug, K xox

Hello @Coco2010 welcome & although I'm new this time round too,, yes the wealth of information & feeling of we are not alone is so reassuring on here. 
I too have liver Mets like you, out of now where just before Xmas & started chemo before new year due to pain. My liver had doubled in size. Went straight into Femara as well. Had ct scans every 4 weeks so far & shows the tumours are shrinking & now on Kisqali. I'm in excellent hands with my 2 oncologists, one for my brain Mets too...found at same time as liver Mets & some small Mets in lungs after 5 years clear.
Well done to you for working, that's amazing. I wanted to but the weekly chemo gave me intense fatigue, but plus I'm not allowed to drive anymore due to the brain tumours. My independence has been snapped away at 56. Cancer sucks get.
We are here for you, ask me anything you like.

Hi there @Coco2010 and welcome to our group. I'm so sorry that the Beast is back, but please know that all the lovely members here have your back. Even though there is a separate (private) group for people with mets, I think it's good to have posts regarding mets on the public page too. My feeling is that by posting here, it shows new members, or those newly diagnosed, that there is still a life and a quality of life worth living. I think some may feel that if their cancer progresses to stage four, all is lost, and that their future may be measured in days, or perhaps weeks. The fact that this is an untrue assumption can only be debunked for them by reading such positive posts as yours. Thank you so very much for joining and sharing your story with us. Biggest hug ((( ))) Ally.
