- LorraineBMember@"Patti J" @Sam09 @Pamelamary thank you for posts of HOPE. I have been living under a dark cloud since my diagnosis. This week is my last week of 'normality' so I try to make the most of it. Next week I have my heart scan and port inserted and I start my active treatment the following week.
@Sam09 I have been looking into complimentary therapies but far to much conflicting research. You are spot on. Organic food, lots filtered of water and exercise is what is needed.Sign in to react to this post - kmakmMemberSo sorry to hear this news @MeganM. Welcome to the forum. While no one wants to be here, it can be a great support, source of information and even provide some laughs. As you have read many go well on the drugs that are available these days. Hang in there.

- MeganMMemberHi 10 years to the month since my first bcs diagnosis I went to a new GP for a minor unrelated issue and after running bloods tests then scans scans the Dr found 2 liaisons on the liver and 7 specs in spine and ribs. Waiting for liver biopsy then back to the oncologist next week. Very grateful to read that some of you are having such success. I really needed that hope today.Sign in to react to this post
- PamelamaryMemberHi Lorraine,
I had spread to liver over 6 years ago - at the time, Dr. Google gave me 8 months. Statistics are not your story.

- Sam09MemberDear Lorraine I have been where you are too so I can tell you stay away from google firstly. I was diagnosed with 12 large tumours in my liver in December 16. I thought wow it’s curtains for me and wallowed in self pity for ages. However 6 months down the track they had shrunk to less than half the size 6 months later to tiny and last week the mri revealed just scar tissue nothing no evidence in my liver or my spine where it was in 3 places. I’m super happy but let’s face it who knows what where but for the moment I have been told it is a complete response to treatment so I’m stoked. The moral of my story Miss L is treatment works I believe throw in a dose of healthy organic food lots filtered water no sugar and lots exercise if you feel well and it’s called hope. 😊 I do hate to say this but really be positive breast cancer is now a manageable disease. You CAN do this you’ve got it!!!!!Sign in to react to this post
- Patti_JMember@LorraineB. I too have liver mets. I also have bone mets. My oncologist is working towards making my cancer like a chronic illness that needs to be closely monitored.
Live each day as it comes.Sign in to react to this post - arpieMemberSo sorry to hear this news @lorraineb ... as Kate and Simon have said ... there is treatment for it that will hopefully stop it, slow it or get rid of it. It worked for a friend in Zimbabwe.
