My story

I am so sorry to hear you have breast cancer and bone mets but welcome to this network where you'll get lots of support. It would be such a shock after thinking you'd delt with DCIS twice.I've had bc twice.The first time was in 2003 when I had a lumpectomy,full node clearance and radiation.Then in 2010,I got it back again in the same spot so had to have a mastectomy and chemo. I am lucky in the fact that it was early breast cancer each time.But it does pull the rug from under you when it comes back.I'm not so confident now and often wonder if cancer cells have travelled elswhere- time will tell.It's just so hard to believe that 2 DCIS episodes can lead to bone mets.I can just imagine how gutted you'd feel.There are quite a few women on this website who are living with mets and keeping it under control with medication.They have their own group which you could join if you wish.There is an art/craft group as well called creative corner which I belong to.You don't always want to blog about cancer.But this is a wonderful site where you can get lots of information,support,friendship and the opportunity to vent your feelings - I think venting helps.Good luck with the radiation,hope it helps with the pain.Sending a hug - Tonya xx
