6 years today
Today marks the 6th year since I was diagnosed with Advanced Breast Cancer. I am still here and despite a few ups and downs, still feeling pretty good.
I want to wish everyone out there all the be...

Hi Tracey
I've had mediastinal, hilar lung problems for the whole 6 years of ABC. The mets had been controlled for a while with various AIs then last year needed chemo (Abraxane) which did a great job of clearing them but they were back quite quickly. They just seemed to rumble on and not cause too many physical problems. My latest and biggest problem to date are one large and one tiny brain tumour detected about 6 weeks ago after sudden bad headaches and blurred vision. I had "successful" surgery on the big one and am now nearly finished 10 whole brain radiotherapy treatments. Start chemo again next week to try and sort out my lungs. It has been tough psychologically this time but otherwise I'm just taking advice and trying to get it over with, and hopefully get back to part time work soon because it is a really good distraction.
It all sounds very dramatic but I still look and feel generally well ..... life goes on, but just a bit bumpier than I'd like lately
PS I live in Wollongong
Take care, Belinda
