New to posting online...bit about me & Living with liver metastases
Hi Ladies,
Im learning my way around the new site and haven't been one for posting much on here but here goes.
Bit about me part brief as I can.
Stage 3 bc ER+ PR+ HER2+ 8 nodes positive in 2002 age 28yrs, mastectomy, rads, AC chemo & Taxotere chemo. Tamoxifen / Zoladex.
October 2005 break in treatment to conceive, after a missed miscarriage then an ectopic pregnancy, finally 3rd and final attempt our baby girl was born may 2007.
May 2007 Tamoxifen Zoladex again,
Nov 2008 oophorectomy, Arimidex, Femara,
Oct 2011 Delayed recon R breast & prophylactic L breast with bilateral expanders
May 2012 Diagnosed with septacemia and widespread liver mets May 2012, 2yrs Abraxane (first year 3wks on 1wk off, second year fortnightly) combined with Herceptin. Liver mets shrunk 30%.
Dec 2013 Bilateral expanders finally removed and implant put in place after 18mths with rocks on my chest.
May 2014 to current been on Aromasin and Herceptin.
15yrs now since first diagnosed and 5yrs living with mets into this new normal life that is forever changing and I would love to hear from others how they have managed living their new normal after a mets diagnosis.
