New secondary diagnosis
Hi all
Its been a long time since I posted but here I am back again.
I was diagnosed oct 2011 with 6 cancers shared amongst both breasts and had a bilateral masectomy, chemo and radiation. After 11 months off work I had my ovaries and tubes out so my treatment would be finished and I could return to work and begin living my new normal.
On Tuesday of this week I was diagnosed with secondary cancer in my left rib after my third bone scan in 6 months for persistent rib pain.
How am I coping ???
After the trauma of once again having to tell my 3 children and my parents I am really pissed off. Pissed off that I finished my treatment less than a year ago. This time last year I was coming to the end of chemo. I feel ripped off that all that treatment didn't kill every cell and treatment will now be an everyday part of life for me.
I see my medical oncologist tomorrow to find out where I go to from here.
I have had a ct scan, X-rays and bloods taken so I can go armed with everything my oncologist might need.
Thank you for letting me vent
Mel
