Hi @Trishym. Well, that all sounds a bit shit for you! I'm sorry that you are having to deal with all this, but you sound positive, and I reckon that's a good space to be in. I have mets to my spine and rib (diagnosed in may, almost exactly five years from my initial bc diagnosis). I have not had the lung issue and treatment you're dealing with, but I am on my 2nd round of leterozole/ribociclib treatment, and I feel fit and well, if a little fatigued at times. I went into chemical menopause with chemo during my initial treatment, aged 45, and never resumed menstruation, so avoided the oophorectomy. At first, the sudden menopause symptoms were intense, but they did settle down and eventually most of them wore off. My children are a little older than yours, but they are coping brilliantly, and I feel certain that I will be around to help them with their own babies in a decade or two. I hope you see some welcome recovery from this procedure. xx
