Newly diagnosed with mets
Hi everyone, yesterday I got the bad news that my early breast cancer diagnosis of 4 years ago has spread, I was devastated, I have changes in my pelvis and lower spine and a growth push against my kidney tube hence that kidney not working correctly and a stent is going to be inserted and a biopsie of the growth to see if it’s still the same cancer I was diagnosed with originally then we know exactly what we dealing with, I will say I’m frightened, worried, scared as hell, panicked, nervous, and all the other emotions that come along with that diagnosis, I walked out of the oncologists office and hopefully not in the hearing of the other patients there dropped the F bomb a dozen times, what the future holds for me now I don’t know what I do know is I will be fighting this all the way.

All the best xx - @Glynnis I was diagnosed just 2 weeks ago. I have similar problem affecting my kidneys and now have stents in both ureters which have to be changed 3 monthly. I have started on the kisqali and femara and so far no bad effects from them. Best wishes.

- Evening everyone just an update, had my op today stent put into kidney, yes apparently I have a mass in there too which we sort of knew about, so I’ll be ringing my oncologist on Monday as to where we go next, I already have an appointment with her on 4/3 she might want me to wait till then I’m hopeing she doesn’t and starts me on the next step with this mass as to what we do about it, baby steps day at a time xx
