Here I go again
Today i have been told that i have secondary breast cancer in my spine.
So here we go again. I was first diagnosed with primary breast cancer in April 2012, after several months that included 3 sur...
Is there ay one who has had a similar situation as me. Primary breast cancer in 2012, 2 lumpectomy s chemo, andradiation. Within 17 months Life was at last back to normal, although a hiccup with me being made redundant in my sales management position that I had held for 21 years. So I started my own sales consultants business, I have 1/2 a dozen customers and make a decent living. Yippie life is great again.
Fast forward to last week. I now have secondary breast cancer in my spine... . I am so confused dont know what treatment I should go with. The idea of chemo again devastates me. I have spoken with my oncologist, he is so great. But what I wanted to ask him, , was will this kill me!!!!. So im asking you my bcna friends have you been where I am now. What treatmeat is available. What can I expect as far as quality of life.
Also very scary not to have the backup of a workplace as I did last time. Being self employed now terrifies me. All monies coming in will have to go out in wages . Also because I am a single girl, there isn't a second income to fall back on. And because I hadnt passed the 5 year remission period I haven't been able to get income or personal insurance.
