My story

Hi Donna So sorry to read your story. Sounds similar to mine. My bone metatastes was discovered in my right sacral (pelvic bones) soon after my first breast cancer diagnosis. It was scary, having the bone deep biopsy, lying on my stomach while they took a sample. However, when I heard (this is going to sound weird to you!) that I had a small amount in the bone, after the first shock, I was actually glad! Because it's far mire damaging if you have it move to your organs, or bowels or digestive system. It has been there for nearly 2 years, and being controlled by Arimidex, it has remained the same size all that time and hasnt spread anywhere else. I've read (in my Hope and Hurdles), on the net, talking to Oncology etc, that it can remain in the bones like that for years, and not have any detrimental affect on us at all. I haven't had pain from it at all. You mentioned pain in the sternum-is that the location of your metatastes? Happy to talk further if you'd like to. Stay positive, and take good care.
