I am nearly 17 months post diagnosis for advanced breast cancer at the age of 41 with children aged 10 and 11 on diagnosis.

On diagnosis my tumors were high grade at growth rate of 40 percent. I was Estrogen positive. I had 2 liver tumors, bone mets to Right shoulder measuring 4 cm and extending into mid humerus and acromian(also shoulder paralysis - cause not found), sternum, 2nd thoracic vertebrae and 3 large breast tumors that appeared seamingly overnight and progressed very rapidly. Between diagnosis and commencement of treatment I developed several rib tumors and 5th lumbar bone tumor.
