Triple Negative BC

My secondary breast cancer story was that I had  a wheeze in my chest initially. It was subtle  - only evident when I took a big inhalation. My GP thought it was pneumonia which puzzled me as I had no other symptoms. A chest Xray can back clear. I also had 2 small lumps on my neck (lymph glands). When I next saw my Oncologist, she ordered a CT of the chest and biopsy of the lumps. Both came back positive with the same triple negative pathology as for the primary breast cancer 3 years earlier. I also had a subtle pressure under my ribs which - there were also some spots on my liver.

Have a great time at the conference!

Hi,

Thank you girls for your optimism. I wish you all the very best with everything whether you are still doing treatment (Tina) or waiting for an operation (Deeay) or doing routine checkups (Christie).

Sheree, thanks for the fb offer. It's just that I've deactivated my fb account some time ago. That's ok I'll just have to post here from time to time. You have been a lovely person to chat to right from the beginning when I first signed up to BCNA last year.

Big hugs to you all.

Hi!

Thanks for touching base. I have had a go at clicking on the link to facebook Sheree, but it said, "not available"...I will have another go. INteresting that you too had trouble finding me on facebook. I don't access my page often, but it is Tina Piggott.

Anyway, last time I posted here I was due for a break from chemo. The routine scans before the proposed break picked up some metastases at the base of my brain. A brain MRI found a few spots at the top too. Fortunately, i am asymptomatic, but have already had 2 weeks radiotherapy. We are told 70% chance of the radio 'keeping it at bay". I am due back to see my ONcologist on MOnday to start a new regime of chemo - the old which was great for 4 cycles, everything decreasing rapidly, basically stopped working for the next 4 cycles, so i have a few spots coming back in the neck, liver and lungs.

So, as a family a new page has been turned in this story. We are, however, strong in faith and surrounding by much prayer, love and support - which is so beautiful.

Love to all you girls out there.. and i will keep trying to get onto this facebook page.
