My name is Sharon (Shazbo) my BC journey started on 16th July 2007 just before I turned 50 with what I thought was a routine hip replacement, not so lucky when the bone was tested it turned out to be bone cancer. However 4 weeks later a diagnosis of Breast Cancer stage 4 with bone mets in the spine, ribs, hip and pelvis.
OMG how my life has changed over the last 3 yrs I have given up work been through chemo, radiation therapy, spinal surgery and monthly treatments of Zometa, I think the hardest thing for me now is the amount of drugs I now take to be able to function every day I hate it but I try to stay positive and happy but some times the pain gets in the way.
I am very lucky to have the most fantastic husband and 3 grown up children, combine them with my many many friends they all keep me going. It would be great though to talk to anyone in the breasts cancer club and ladies with secondary cancer like me. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks Shazbo
