Crappy news Sally...as you and others have said...back into the fray with all the weapons your Sergeant At Arms (aka oncologist) can give you. Chin up...get that thousand yards stare going and go kick arse. Sending a big cyber hug ((( ))).2

Hello @sallylovestosing sorry to hear your news, all the best with the oncology appointment today, it will be a huge relief to have a treatment plan in place and underway. Wishing you all the best today.1

Sorry to hear that. Wish you all the best.1

Sending you lots of love and light @sallylovestosing, the treatments are improving so much these days, I like to think they are getting closer to beating this dreadful disease or at least holding it at bay indefinitely!2

That's really crap @sallylovestosing and I hope that after seeing your oncologist today your head is a bit clearer. It always seems to help once you know what your facing and what they can do to fix it or at least manage it. I also have had cancer return to my Lymph nodes in my axilla and across my chest, surgery is not an option for me either so I am on round 6 of Xeloda and thankfully scans a few weeks ago show that the cancer is responding and shrinking. Please let us know how things go today x3

Well here we are - had a long talk with my oncologist yesterday. Disease has spread to lymph nodes in chest and neck/collarbone area, which means surgery and radiation are not an option. He said as nicely as possible that where we are at is no longer expecting a cure, but now working to give me the best quality of life for however long that may be - and his best guess was that two years would be probably what we could hope for. Working very hard to get my head round this - certainly not where I hoped or expected to be right now. So many hard questions to ask myself and my darling husband- so many hard conversations to have. Definitely NOT taking this lying down but just knocked a bit sideways at the moment.
Start Chemo tomorrow - Eribulin - 3 week cycle- 2weeks on, one week off. Any thoughts/ suggestions gratefully accepted 😘0 -
I'm so sorry to read your news.
That's a lot for you and hubby to cope with.
We are all here willing you along.
Please accept a virtual hug and best wishes for a smooth run through treatment
Take care1 -
That's just crappy, @sallylovestosing.
My only suggestion would be to think about a Portacath to make infusions and blood collection a bit easier on yourself
Sending hugs and lots of care1 -
I just wanted to say how sad I am for you. There are no words of comfort that will ease this devastating diagnosis, just know we are here for you whenever you need us. And we are all hoping for the next miracle in breast cancer treatment for you. And also for you to prove them wrong. X4

I just wanted to say, I believe you have all that it takes within you to begin this. I cannot imagine what you and your family are going through in these moments. We are all here walking with you, but most of all fired up with love and support for you. Big breath! "You are braver than you believe. You are stronger than you seem, smarter than you think."
