Secondary bone cancer

The first thing I noticed was that you wrote your blog at 3.40am!!  Are you in the dexamethasone stage?  Takes me back.  I reached 2 years post diagnosis on the 7th September but who's counting?  I sense your fear of the unknown & the worry and can so relate to what you're going through.  I didn't have a portacath (they thought my veins were pretty good) but in the end, it was getting harder to find good ones.  My treatment (chemo, double mastectomy & radio) seems a lifetime ago but I'm still taking Femara & will be on it for 5 years.  I too live in Brisbane & I remember feeling quite isolated when I was first diagnosed as no one else seemed to have IBC.  To date, I still haven't met anyone face to face, only via this website.  It was a godsend to find this site & realise I wasn't alone.  When you get an opportunity, do take advantage of all that Choices at the Wesley Hospital offers to women with breast & gynaecological cancer.  I not only met some beautiful people there but also took advantage of wonderful classes & treatments they offered - pink pilates, massage, councilling, relaxation & meditation classes etc.  It's all free & the people that run it are truly amazing.  I wish you all the best  over the coming months.  The treatment is gruelling but so worth it in the end.  I too had TAC.  Please feel free to ask any questions of me & I'll try to help you.  Terri xxx
