Hi..just found out breast cancer has spread..took lymph nodes out too, and was ready for chemo, as a " curative plan"..scans just found it has spread yo liver!! Now biopsy to see if its related to BC, or separate. PETRIFIED!!! Has anyone experienced anything similar?.. TIA..:-((

Sending you a big hug. That’s beyond crappy and I am so sorry you have to start all this with such a massive obstacle in your way. Just remember that treatment has come a long way and you will be strong enough to do this. That massive fog of fear will begin to lift when you have a plan. Xx

The news must be so scary. Even more to take on board, so difficult, and more waiting. @ddon is right, diagnosis and treatment has come a huge way in just a few years. Keep going every day, each day at a time, you got this. Lots of hugs xx

thank you. It has been a great comfort talking to lovely ladies here..wish I could offer the same support.. xxx

unfortunately @ddon , and Tinks doctor didn't sound positive.. She said blood tests and biopsy next to see if its secondary to breast cancer, or just on its own..that will determine treatment..Thank you for the kind words, they really do help..up until scans, prognosis was great..Praying they can find a treatment plan to keep me around.. Our son is only 12..:-((..Take care, wishing you both a happy ending on your journey..

It's not over until it's over @Joarden I can understand how you're feeling having a child who needs you around for a good while yet, but you're still here. As the others have said, treatment has come a long way. Take care.

I set my self up with my own pill boxes. Mine are a daily one and there are 7. I just take out the day. I started this on chemo as I honestly couldn't remember if taken or not at times. 4 years on still helps my be consistent. I also have vitamins Im on post chemo also, and for joints etc.
It helps me keep on top of scripts too as you load you then wrote a list and work out when you need to see GP etc. It's just super organising yourself and brilliant when travelling.

This is my favourite type. I trialled a few. I keep inside small Tupperware container.

Can I just say that am taking one tablet twice a day and I can’t remember some days - did I take it? Yes, no?! My husband has suggested a dispenser of some sort. My dignity too is on the line - I was a registered nurse and I can’t remember if i took my one tablet? Mmmmm.

Dignity suffered a blow, because I used to organise meds for others, as a nursing assistant, and then for elderly parents!! I'm not at all good at organising lately, so might have to put my pride aside and ask for help..-((..

I use a pill box marked for each day of the week but not a.m., noon., pm. Yes, dignity suffered at first and then I reminded myself that I was behaving very efficiently - no different to maintaining a work schedule and/or filing system. Learned not to sabotage my self image ;), in fact, quite impressed with my organisational skills given that all this is done while on a roller coaster ride!

I only have the Letrozole to worry about but I write the days of the week on the blister packs each time I start one otherwise I would never be sure if I've taken it or not.
