Further Spread

Hi @DCP I am an old chook of 62, and have been on this medical merry go round that is metastatic breast cancer for nearly 5 years, like you I have many mets in and around my spine and lower back area,there are also a couple of nasties in my liver as well, anyway, this is about you not me, so, my dear what can I say to you, first things first, as Zoffiel has said this will be a long haul for you,have the bone biopsy on Friday, hopefully you will get the results very early next week, unfortunately these things take time and we all have to play the waiting game, then there will be a visit to your oncologist to decide on what treatment plan is best for you,. will hubby be able to come with you, this is one time that you really need a second pair of ears as there will be a lot of information to process, my partner took a notebook and wrote things down because you will not  remember everything, its very early days and you must be thinking so many things,can I suggest ringing the 1800 no, here at bcna the cancer nurses are there till 9.00pm this evening, so perhaps after your kids have gone to bed and things are a bit quieter give them a call and speak to one of them, and ask away, there are a lot of support services available you just have to know how to access them, when you get a treatment plan up and running please let us know how you are,
 know that we ARE all here for you,  you can come here anytime, ask questions, vent, whatever and someone will always answer you, you are not alone in this,try and take it one day at a time, one hour at a time if need be, you will get there, 
sending you a big hug,
