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.

- @Shakalker thank you support on here is awesome how things with you?
- @Marieda glad your stent changes are now 6 monthly, when are they going to check how left kidney going? Yes we don't need anythianyelsetdo we enough is enough

- Hi @Glynnis that all sounds good news for you. Good to hear. I was taken off Kisqali because it was having an affect on my heart, according to the ECG so have been put on palbociclip, which I am hoping is as good as Kisqali. I was told I could also go for 6 months before the next stent change, but left stent not doing the job as well as the right, so may have to change earlier. Bone mets don't seem to have changed so far. As if we don't have enough problems - wouldn't it be great to be able to do away with the stents! Best wishes for continuing improvements..
- Hi @Marieda I going well Thankyou, getting stent replaced next month, at last oncologist visit apparently my kidney function had improved which is terrific. How’s things with you? Still 3 monthly stent Changes for you? I seem to be doing ok on the Kisqali and Letrozole, last scan showed I now have scarring on my bones which is good news so I taking that it is contained 😃 hope your fair as well
- @Glynnis how are things going for you?
- @Marieda yes it is I feel for you having to get it done every three months 😞
- @Glynnis six monthly changes are better than my 3 monthly, so that is good news for you.
- Happy is good!
- Just a follow up, had urologist post op check today. Op went well no blockage but the urethra is a bit thick in places so that’s been the problem. Stent will get changed every 6 months for that I’m happy 😃
