Acceptance
Although I got my diagnosis of liver metastaes end of December 2010, three lengthy hospital stays in four weeks rocked my world and the six chemo treatments absorbed whatever was left by way of time....

Hi Joy (Jabulani),
It is difficult and a hard thing to shake. Even though I was diagnosed with secondaries (getting close to 6 years now), I had allowed myself to start and feel a bit clever I suppose. I had made it to 5 years and nothing else had appeared and my secondary had remained the same, so I thought I could settle back and get on with things. In November 2010 it came around and gave me another kick in the backside. New cancer in the mediastinum (chest). I have just finished my chemo, had 8 all up and now the new waiting game starts. Scans at the end of June and then the results.
I will be having the Herceptin and Arimidex to take me into the next phase.
This site is great to chat to everyone and get other peoples experiences. I hope we can all help somewhere along the line.
All the best with your treatment and stay in touch.
Take care.
