Hi ladies. Ive just joined this site. Im happy to share my experiences. Im 55 years old. Diagnosed with stage 4 breast in March 2015.

Well he was right. It had met and like most i had tumors down my spine,neck, femur. The pain was excruciating! So radiation helped with the pain. Then i went on a trial at Peter Mac and all was going well until Oct 2017. I was away on holiday and felt a bit strange and just knew something wasn't right. Extremely high temp put me in emergency.
When i got back sure enough 2 tumors in my liver!
Sad for me and the team at Peter Mac. So stopped the trial and my oncologist put me onto oral chemo capecitibine.
As with other ladies 2 weeks on and 1 week off.
Im on my third round. Bit of nausea here and there, getting more tired as i go along. But the last 2 times i've developed "hand and foot" syndrome (a common side effect) which has become quite painful.
Ive tried cold face washers wrapped around my feet, various creams but to no avail
