Just before Xmas I was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. To see my GP & later my oncologist so upset I knew it wasn't good. I have 40 tumours in my brain...after only having very slight headaches & 5 or so tumours in my liver...again only slight pain in my right side. My whole world was turned totally inside out. I practically begged my amazing oncologist to start chemo on the liver before new year as the pain had increased & my gut told me this isn't right. So he organised it, but they were also keen to start radiotherapy on my brain too.Apparently I was told by my beautiful McGrath breast care nurse in oncology that I have an unusual combination of stage 4. Is there anyone fighting something similar to give me some hope...multiple brain tumours or liver tumours. I'm feeling a little lost right now. I had just finished by breast reconstruction & ready to fly to Rome this week, what a turn around. Jackie

As she flies free from pain and suffering may those left behind have support and love at this time thank you for letting us know @HelenJill

I, too, think it's really important for those with mets to be posting here. It's not all pretty and pink.

Well that is the shittest thing I’ve read at 3:30am for a long time. May she be sipping espresso in Rome and living la dolce vita now in peace xx

Hi @Jackie50 You have posted under Mets but not in the private group which you can join if you look on the right hand side of the discussion page. Just click on it and then ask to join. Personally, I appreciate people sharing on the public forum as I do not have Mets but have a friend who does so I am often looking up on here to see if I can understand her situation a bit better. Thank you. Big hugs to you.

Jackie that sucks. This disease is the f*****g pits. I hope your body responds well to the treatment and that you can make it to Rome soon. I'm sorry I don't have anything useful to say as regards your combination of tumours. Sending you a big hug, K xox

Mets in brain & liver after 5 yrs feeling good.

Hello @HelenJill what a great memory to have attended the field of women with Jackie, I cant imagine how devastating it was for Jackie to receive the news that her cancer had returned 3 months later. Like @mum2jj has said, it is such a cruel disease. Please dont hesitate to contact our helpline if you need any support and or information. Best wishes

How lovely you shared the field of women together. I can imagine how devastated you must have been. Such a cruel disease. Take care of you and treasure every day.

Hi Paula. A big congrats to you. 8 years that’s fabulous. Jackie and I went to the Field of Women in Melbourne last year celebrating our 5 year survival milestone. We had a fabulous weekend. We were both devastated 3 months later when she was diagnosed with Mets. I will miss her so much.
